Not exactly, but also yes.

I drive round all day making sales calls in my FR-S. Some days I might drive it for four hours. I try to avoid peak times and really bad traffic, but often times I can't.

Bay Area traffic is really really really bad. But it still doesn't compare to LA. I know that. But I'm from Michigan (Grand Rapids) and any commute from anywhere at any time never really has you sitting in traffic unless there was a multi-car accent.
