I have a friend who lives here and we are going to do a Toys for Tots tour tomorrow (Saturday) in his Tudor. He knows the roads and which ones to take and how to avoid the crazies out there, but it is not stock and has turn indicators and additional mirrors and other safety things.

Welcome to our little bit of Paradise (not!). The right hand lane is your friend on the 101.
