Moving to LA
Hey guys. I have been around the site for a while. I live in Cali now but am being moved by the AirForce to Shreveport. Dont know if anybody lives up north. I am a long time member of Kutsuju Racing if any of you know who they are. Just wanted to say whats up.

You'll find alot of your Kutsuju club members in Louisiana. You'll find that there's not much difference between California and Louisiana except for weather and hopitality. Still have inconsiderate and insane drivers.
If you ever find yourself in Baton Rouge or passing through, let me lay down a few rules of the road for your safety:
Driving and Traffic rules in Baton Rouge
1. First, you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is Batt'n
Roodge.
2. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Baton Rouge has
its own version of traffic rules... Hold on.....and pray.
3. All directions start with, "Get on I-10"...which has no
beginning and no end.
4. The Chamber of Commerce calls getting through traffic a "scenic
drive."
5. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00. The evening rush
hour is from 3:00 to 7:00. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday
morning.
6. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you WILL get
rear-ended.
7. Hoo Shoo Too Road is a real one & can only be pronounced by a
native.
8. Construction on I-12 is a way of life, a permanent form of
entertainment, and a reason to avoid I-10 as well.
9. All unfamiliar sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh... we are
in Denham Springs!"
10. If you actually see someone with their turn signal working, it
is probably a factory defect.
11. All old ladies with blue hair in Cadillacs (and lavender
Stratus) have the right of way.
12. Lots of streets mysteriously change names as you cross
intersections--it's like the tide and LSU sports; just accept it.
13. When asking directions downtown, you keep your window rolled
up and write your questions on a piece of paper.
14. A trip across town will take a minimum of an hour.
15. Don't carry money, jewelry, family, etc. on Plank
Road.
16. The wrought iron on windows downtown isn't decorative.
17. If you leave one car length for every 10 MPH speed between you
and the car in front of you, somebody will cut in.
18. Don't stare at the driver of the car with the bumper sticker
that says,
"Keep honking. I'm reloading."
19. For directions sake, you must know the difference between the
"New" bridge & the "Old" bridge. Also you should know the
difference between the "New" mall and the "Old" mall.
20. Anyone trying to get within 5 miles of the LSU campus on game
day of an LSU Football game either does not live in Baton Rouge or has lost their mind.
21. Don't donate to 'Will Work For Food' sign holders at the red
lights at the College Drive exits off the interstate. They own houses along
Highland Road and in the Country Club of Louisiana.
22. Make-up should never be applied at home; one must put it on
while driving to work.
23. Ditto for shaving; men must shave on their way to work.
24. One must speed up when it starts raining to get home
before
the idiots who don't know how to drive in rain get on the roads.
25. Be assured that when you see someone run a red light, make a
right/left turn from two lanes over, throw something out the window, weave
from lane to lane, driving drunk -- there will be no police officer in sight.
They are all waiting for you to go 2 miles over the limit in a
school zone to give you a ticket.
