Open Twins Shootout: The Street
Ever driven through L.A. on a Friday evening? It defines gnarly traffic. Beginning after lunch, since it's a hedonistic town in which everybody must get a jump on the weekend, things begin to snarl even worse than usual. By about six pm, it's not a nice mix of pissed-off commuters in giant protective SUVs and armored Mercedes-Benzes who didn't get the jump, early-starting partiers careening around in stiff little Japanese cars with monstrous woofers, and migrant workers in clapped-out Ford Granadas cruising ranchera-style...
