Thanks for the confirmation... I keep saying the same things about SoCal here on BF and folks just seem to treat me like those very motorists you have mentioned.
Bottom line is, sure, it can be done... but it ain't easy, and it can be quite discouraging to have to put up with time after time.
BTW I have toured the length of the state... and you can feel the difference as you go further south.
