Greetings Carl.

KC isn't bad for a metro area, but it does have its share of choke
points.  Fortunately, my daily commute of 6 miles avoids them all.
I'm well south of the bulk of the rush hour traffic, with both my home
and my employer south of the notorious Grandview Triangle.

I had my one-time experience in S. CA back in June 1995, visiting my
brother during his short stay in San Diego.  I hit morning rush near
San Bernardino, and my car (which handled the mountains and desert
quite well) blew 3 freeze plugs and two hoses on I-215.  I spent all
day in the shop due to the parts requiring transport from Los
Angeles.  The positive effect of that was crossing the Mojave Desert
(I-15) at night.  That made for some interesting lighting sights upon
entering Nevada.

Regards.
