I've been to LA. Admittedly, it is much worse there than here. Traffic can be heavy on Texas and University, but there just aren't enough vehicles to make a decent jam. Even on the day of a game.

If they seem nuts in College Station, imagine how nuts they seem in S. Cal. From 7:30 am to 10:00 and from 4:30 to 7:30 pm, you can commute in the 20 mile long, 4 lanes wide, 5 mph traffic jam that seems to consist of at least 60% one passenger supersized SUV's. I drove my motorcycle between them every day.

What I hate about SUVs is you can see around them. Therefore you are dependent on the guy in the SUV knowing what he's doing and hope that he is not jacking off while talking on his cell.
