Ha... thats exactly what I did. I start work at 6am get out at 2:30pm. Takes me 30 minutes from long beach to culver city. I was working the 9-6 before and it took me 1&1/2 hours each way before, sometimes longer. I was really stressed out from it.

 

silverlake has come up through the years. cool spot too if you have a dog. i dont have problems driving in traffic, 405 and 710 everyday.

 

You'll be fine. Any MT car has to deal with the same thing in stop-and-go bumper-to-bumper traffic (would be a shame to get rid of the Z just because of that).

That being said, I DO have a "commuter car" as well, but it's also MT, so no difference. You'll get used to it.

Having spent 5 years up in the Bay Area, too, the bad spots down here are equivalent to how it is up in NorCal (i.e. like northbound 101 in the evening from Palo Alto to S.F.).

 

Just move to P.V.! very nice, new roads

 

I'll have to second that vote...

 

Hey! Pv! haha

 

Ya sorta can't beat P.V. Absolutely beautiful. Besides me, you must be the only other person in P.V. with a Z...(just kidding).

 

I usually just follow semi trucks on heavy traffic days. They gotta drive stick too and they usually just cruise at a slow even pace.

 

do you still live in pv?

 

Still have a house there (my old childhood home), but I'm out in Anaheim Hills mostly. I go back about once a week (or once every 2 weeks).

 

ohh nice wheres the house at? (is this thread jacking or w/e?)

 

I live down the street (Silver Spur) from Peninsula High (RPV).

(yeah...this is thread jacking... )

 

i actually liked driving manual in traffic, u have something to do.

 

L.A. Rush hour+Racing Clutch=FTMFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
