In the 70’s &80’s so. Cal and all of cal
Had the best roads anywhere not a pothole to be found between la and Vegas basically perfect except for bots dots( lane reflectors)
Pure joy for vetts and 911’s
Sad no more
And homeless (alky wino and druggie bums) were only found downtown with a few at Venice beach.
Sadest part is you don’t know what you have missed And been robbed of.
Gas 27€ gallon with free car wash at mark c blooms ( see all cal oil fields)
Gun restrictions— sorry there were none
College almost free
Almost anything could be plated for road use sand rails manxs dune buggies
Equipment violation (bald tires, headlight out etc. fix it go to chp they look at inspect sign off on and you’re good to go. No dollar fine I repeat no dollar fine. ( use $$ to fix it Not give to gov coffers)
Desert wide open spark arresters not yet invented
I could go on
But then again
Ronald Reagan was our governor
And californium dreaming was real
