What in heaven's name are you doing running CRUISE CONTROL on the I-405
(much less any other freeway in LA)?!  Sparse traffic on the San Diego
Freeway is sporadic at best, non-existant most of the time, but in all cases
will come to a dead stop (or worse) any time of the day or night.

That's just askin' for trouble..........
