I have a daily commute on the 405 and 101 here in L.A. I ride my motorcycle so most of the time I’m in the carpool lane. I have seen this numerous times. 2 weeks ago I saw a dude passed out in a Model X in the fast-lane during high traffic. It’s honestly not even shocking anymore.

I think this graph is pretty accurate. I live in L.A. and make around $50k before taxes. The struggle is real to say the least. lol. Rent is the main killer here, especially if you want to live somewhere that you can feel safe in. And it pisses me off that gas is somehow cheaper in Alaska.

Dude, awesome story.

So if this thing is classified as a motorcycle, does that mean you need to wear a helmet while driving it? If it were a convertible, that could work. But it has a roof.....

Well written article! I commute 5 days a week from the SFV to Manhattan Beach on the 405. I always assumed my main reason for doing so is to save money on gas and also because I can split lanes. But after awhile I realised that once I was on my bike, my mind was focused and clear, only thinking about what was in front…

As a half black, half asian man I can attest to everything that was said in this article. 2 thumbs up!

Skeet Skeet Skeet!

I know a few places here in L.A. that would pass you for a price. Not sure if that really works anymore with all the cracking down on those shops.

You need to live in Los Angeles. My commute on the 405 everyday has me passing at least 1. Granted I think it's the same guy I'm passing every morning in the carpool lane, but that's besides the point.

I was thinking about this the other day. How come no one has taken any of those pretty amazing drones we have today, and tried to fly one out to the base and use a GoPro? I'm assuming it's probably not illegal to do something like that? I just see drones everywhere now, surprised they aren't over at Area 51 filming....

Start up the Kickstarter or GoFundMe campaign, and I'm donating for sure.

Luckily neither of those guys got target fixation, otherwise this would be a totally crazy accident.

Also, if you feel like taunting him, feel free to go send him a message on his Facebook.

I've seen that dude in the mustang always driving around town. He usually doesn't have slicks on it though. I know for sure he gets his car worked on over at Addiction Motorsports. That place is only a mile and a half away from the accident. They seem to deal with only Ford products. I'm sure they would know where to…

He had a huge pair of hoosier drag radials on the back.

Haha! Dude, I take my very active dog out for a 2ish mile run next to my place. I was on a bicycle and my dog was running next to me, heading West on Nordhoff. About a block away from Canoga and LAPD patrol car busts a U-turn, puts on his lights and stops right in front of me. 2 cops get out, walk up to me. I ask what…

I live on Desoto and Nordhoff which is less than a mile away from this. I always hear these jackholes racing back and forth, all friggin night. And the worst are the motorcycles that have no pipes. It sounds like a F1 track in my apartment. And it wouldn't be so bad if maybe they would go until 8pm or even 9pm, but…

So this may be a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. I live here in Los Angeles, and I must see 20 or more Tesla's a day. Hell, my boss drives one. So the question is, if you can afford a $100k vehicle, why not just buy it here and have it shipped to Texas. When I lived in Anchorage Alaska I had my Jeep shipped from…

You definitely see 9000s from time to time, but consider the fact that they were made for 14 years. For something with that long of a production run, you think they'd maybe be around a bit more often.

I'm jealous. Always wanted a Power Wheel as a kid, but parent's could never afford it. Looks super rad!
