Though I haven't lived there for nearly three decades, I still consider myself a citizen of Los Angeles. Soy un Angeleno. That means, among other things, I drive. For me, a car is like a suit or a good exoskeleton. Road trips, going 100 miles per hour on a freeway, racing through Park La Brea-they're all sewn as tightly into my DNA as ice-skating in Central Park is for a New Yorker. Despite that heritage, I've been running an experiment on myself and my hometown. My last three trips there, I didn't rent a car; it's been nothing but taxis, Uber, and one time I borrowed my dad's. (He still identifies as an Angeleno too, though he lives in Tarzana. Which... come on.) Point is, it worked. Not only did I move through space and time every bit as efficiently-more, if you believe that screwing around on Twitter and email is useful-I took new routes. I got everywhere I needed to go, faster than I otherwise would have, without worrying once about getting lost, finding parking, or maybe having had one last drink.

机译：尽管我已经住了近三十年了，但我仍然认为自己是洛杉矶市民。 Soy un Angeleno。这意味着，我开车。对我而言，汽车就像西装或好外骨骼。公路旅行以每小时100英里的速度穿越高速公路，穿越拉布雷亚公园（Park La Brea），就像在纽约中央公园溜冰一样，它们与我的DNA紧密相连。尽管有这样的传统，但我一直在对自己和家乡进行实验。我在那里的最后三趟旅行，我没有租车。除了出租车，没什么，Uber，有一次我借了我父亲的。 （尽管他住在塔尔扎纳（Tarzana），但他仍然仍然是一个安杰利诺（Angeleno）。这……来吧。如果您认为在Twitter和电子邮件上乱搞是有用的，我不仅可以更有效地穿越时空，而且还走了一条新路。我到了我需要去的任何地方，比我原本要走的要快，而不必担心一次迷路，找停车位或喝完最后一杯酒。
