Drive Raptor in LA as daily commute car

[catinthehat85]

Oh good someone finally moving out of Austin to LALA land vs incoming freaks from LA who are destroying TX.

Because of the freaks moving to Austin it's pretty much crime central now, but LA is on a different level. Your Raptor will be stolen within a week of being there...have fun.

One nice thing about the LA/OC area is raptors are a dime a dozen and don’t particularly stand out. I will wouldn’t park overnight on the street in several areas in LA though.

No need to park--they will car jack you so you don't even need to find a spot

Lol with used cars going for what they are would the insurance payout be so bad?

First, my condolences. I’m just a bit south in OC. I think it’s doable depending on where you’re living/working and what your commute is. The roads in SoCal are so terrible you basically need a Baja truck to navigate them anyway.

Part of the reason I bought a Raptor; IL refuses to maintain roads south of Chicago.

Hi guys,

I'm moving to LA, CA. Wondering how bad is it to drive the raptor in LA as a daily commute car? Is it doable or too much trouble?

Plan on a 3 hour commute no mater the time of day or destination.

I escaped Kalifornia. And was in the LA area for work often... I was in El Segundo last week.

Driving would be fine... Parking will be impossible.
My only advice? Don't do it.... you will hate Cali.

You will be fine and if not you won’t lose much selling it. As pointed out above. Biggest issue is where do you plan on parking when you get “home.” Everything else is just a learning curve. I don’t have mine yet but through about this a bunch.

I guess it depends on where in LA, which direction your commute is, and what time you are commuting. I commuted in mine for a few months and it wasn’t bad. Either way on the 405 or west on the 10 during commute hours and you’re screwed though.
