17. Totally series. I was like, "OMG, is that a SMART CAR?!?"
And just as I said it, the news anchor said "the suspect is driving a Smart Car..."

It looked TEENY, but that fucker was hauling ass (100 MPH). I didn't know they could go so fast. :rofl:

18. That is one crazy woman. I just went into the conference room to watch for a minute.
She's been going for 2 hours, and started out around Echo Park?!

I dislike reality TV intensely, but I have an unapologetic, unabashed love of LA car chases. They completely fascinate me.

25. I used to work alongside people from there
And Lancaster. Yes, scary is the right word.

A co-worker of mine also not from the area described them as "one generatiom removed from the Okies", referring to their forebears who settled there and in central CA some years ago. Harsh, maybe, but I knew where she was coming from. Anyone who wants to know why poor white people vote Republican, work alongside these people. They buy into all the lies, fear, and racial baggage that goes with it. They get paid $10.00 an hour, but will tell you why taxes are bad because they "punish success". I asked them, "how the hell else are your wars going to get paid for?"

Glad I left that job, lol. My head hurt from banging it into the wall on a daily basis.

26. Yeah I've lived in Palmdale and Lancaster for 8 years
We used to shop at a market in nearby Little Rock called Charlie Brown Farms. They had nice produce, awesome candy, killer hot chocolates, and POGS, but when I visted after moving back to LA, I noticed all the confederate flag memorabilia. :scared:

I remember that we wouldn't go into the Walmart in Lancaster, only the one in Palmdale, because it was shady.

20. She ran out of gas.
Got out the van, tried to carjack another car by opening the passenger door and ran. They got her.

23. I miss LA afternoon tv
San Diego is SOOOO BORING.

The chase that's cemented in my mind is the one where the dude put a banner on the freeway, tried to kill himself by setting ablaze to his car with him inside (killing the dog inside), but instead he escaped the car and shot himself. Oh god I remember the gush of blood :scared:.

I think I was in middle school when that chase happened.
