    Nah, but not too far off on year and model. I keep mine stock besides a couple engine mods, though.

    I was JUST in LA. Either i hit an anomaly or it isnt what it once was. I drove from lake elsinor to lax and left at 8 am on a Monday. Expected major rush our and angry drivers.
    Nothing like that. Courteous people changing lanes with blinkers not zigzagging in and out, etc.
    I was taken aback and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth the drive was.

    I don't buy the tired argument that the problem is too big to do anything about it. And frankly the amount of effort you put into defending guns, with used up talking points every time these things happen, is just weird. I would prefer to imagine a world where kids don't have to go to school in fear and one where I won't get shot by some jackass with a itchy trigger finger just so you can pretend you are batman.

    So I see all of the attacks against me, without suggesting any actual realistic proposals to get where you claim you want the country to be.

    I have to assume you don't know of any. Which is what I expected.

    I've looked. There is no realistic way to get there. And I'm not interested in pretending we live in Imagination Land. I'd prefer we actually address the issues. Which is completely different from the straw man position you tried to paint me with.

    So, when you want to actually bring something to the table let me know. I'm interested in having the discussion.

    Your going against traffic for the most part and people up at 8am are professionals and employed persons going to work.

    Likely took the 15 to the 91. 91 is shitty drivers around Riverside and also when you get around Compton.

    Guy must have lost his car payment and rent money at the casino so he took it out on that innocent guy.

    When I first saw the headline I didn't understand why it had to include "BMW". Why not just "shot dead by driver in road rage incident".
    But I guess it helps get the word out on who to look for.
    Terrible terrible. I feel so bad for this guy's girlfriend who had to witness it.
    I hope they find this bastard ASAP and he has a miserable life in prison.

    My aunt used to work Trauma ER in a bad part of LA.

    Excellent post.

    Welcome to our gun problem here in the US. That accounts for the vast majority of non-suicide gun violence in our country.

    I am all about addressing the problem. Almost certainly more so than Biden is.

    Same with driving. First thing in the morning drivers are usually good. As you get towards rush hour in the evening, you gotta step up your defense.
