So is anybody here going to be affected by the 405 "Camageddon"??

I've been in bumper to bumper on the 405 before and I can't imagine how bad the arteries are going to be. Glad I am no where near Cali. for this!!

 

I was on the 405 last week (in a rental)

it's bad enough when it's open!!

sure to be mayhem now

 

I may go up that way this weekend... the 405 is completely shut down from what I understand... if I go, I'm taking the bike so I can whiteline...

 

That would be the ONLY way to get around in that mess!

 

Bring your dirtbike so you can putt around on the four feet of sand they laid down to protect the roadbed from falling concrete chunks.

Carmageddon...funny how the news media adds reference to Armageddon to whip the public into a frenzy...

Now if they bring back Prohibition, "Barmageddon" might be appropriate...

...or the government's appointment of leaders to nationalize private industries: "Czarmageddon"....

...or when Tiger's game is off..."PARmageddon"...

and let's not forget to have Willie sing about Farmageddon...

...give the media half a chance, they'll drive us insane...

 

My hog (pig, really) ain't too good in the sand... I tried it once... kinda squirrely in the back end...

 

I dont like that road in my truck at 0100 in the morning.

 

I don't get it. If it's going to be that bad, why don't people just stay home?

 

for the same reason we have a ds for a president. people don't use their brains much any more. i have come to the conclusion that common sense does not exist any longer.

 

Closest Ive been to the 405 is the 10 when they were widening it to Katy...

 

Because it's California???

 

I was listening to Bill Handel on KTLA and as of 9:30 am all was well. Peeps got the message and hopefully will stay home for a couple days,bbq,and drink their favorite beverage.

I use that highway several times a year and the carpool lanes work real well.

 

AND I WILL ADD A BIG AMENto that

 

perfect example. we had 3 cars in our service drive, drive door was OPEN, people standing at our service writers desks and had TWO mazda customers park out in the parking lot, walk into the service drive, tell the service writer that they were here for an oil change. He politley told them to bring their cars into the drive and they SAID HUH and had this TOTAL DEER IN THE HEADLIGHT LOOK! I was like HELOOO HERE's YOUR SIGN! Cars in drive, people at desks. DUHHHHHHH.

to top it off, they wanted us to open the east drive door (14foot door) so they could WALK OUT! They turned around and said "could you open the door so I can get out" I SAID "no but the door with the exit sign right next to the 14 foot big door is unlocked and you can go out that door

needless to say, common sense is non existant and us "smart folk" are the only ones that are going to survive when the fit hits the shat.
