I hope the ability to change clothes (or drivers for that matter) while driving 70 mph, or to drive the twisted Glendale Freeway at speed in the middle lanes of solid vehicle traffic without breaking a sweat (like the start of a Grand Prix) have not become a lost art!

Yep, John's right. As an LA resident, I make a point of avoiding the
freeways between 6-10am and again from 3-7pm. If you must drive during
the rush hours, the best way to adapt is to do as the locals do: drive an
automatic transmission 4WD SUV (that has never seen anything but concrete
under its tires), steer with your knees, use your left hand to eat and
your right hand to talk on the phone. In order to accomplish this, you
will need to drive slow in the fast lane, but that's OK in LA. You can
act just like a local if you are simultaneously using a tape recorder to
memo yourself about that script you're working on, and giving the bird to
the guy that you just cut off. To complete the illusion, choose a bumper
sticker: "Visualize World Peace,"  "Gore Lieberman 2000," "Fear This,"
and "Got MLK?" are all still very popular. You'll blend in and nobody
will notice you're even here. Well, I will, if you're carrying an OM.
