But seriously Buzz, the 101/405 merge is the gateway to hell.
It is definitely the gateway to hell! Thankfully, I've been a line holder for years and can game it. I often take the PCH just to look at the ocean and enjoy the drive. Love living here, hate the drive!
And, when I have to sign in at SNA or ONT, I drive down the night before and crash in a hotel. Those drives are horrendous, especially for a 5 AM sign in.
