I've never seen anything more apropos of "the more things change the more they stay the same." The cars have changed but the traffic is still the same. lol. I note how cars let other cars into their lane very freely. Ahhhh, the days before we had to rush everywhere and road rage.

Funny how some people on this board tell us that they remember back in the “good ol days” when there was no traffic or smog in LA… clearly they are just a little nostalgic.

All that lane-switching and I noticed just one instance of turn signals being used. Some things will never change, huh?
