That thuggish unofficial "blocking off" of the street to allow the cars to exit the parking lot in a continuous line was really uncool; if they wanted to allow a smooth exit from the parking lot, they should have applied for a permit and given up the idea if not approved.
Selfish and self centered, end of story.
On the other hand, seeing so many Bimmers in and around on the freeway was very cool; it was like going to sleep after OD'ing on pain killer and dreaming about waking up in a psychodelic BMW colored world!
Also, CHP TARGETING BMW's wasn't cool either; there were plenty of other violators who deserved to be ticketed, who weren't. Seeing CHP cruiser after CHP cruiser pulled over on the side with BMW in front or behind (I think I saw 20 such scenes between LA and SB?!?) was tragi-comic.
Hey, I really like the color of the lead car (just the rear quarter visible) in your shot of the exit!
