Just popping' in to introduce my self. I've had a heck of a time assembling my maverick. It is almost drivable. WooHoo!
I think that you may have the advantage in numbers alone seeing as how CA has around 30 million more people than WA. However I'd take My Maverick through Seattle Traffic Over LA any day.
The area i live in has worse traffic than the LA area. But my ex now lives in WA so that makes california much better
