Remember your high school days when it was okay to jump in the car with a bunch of friends and go cruising? Gas was cheap. Burgers, fries, and a milkshake at the local Sonic were cheap. Mom and dad thought you were at a friend's house studying for tomorrow's math test.

In most cities here in California, cruising is now against the law for various reasons. You decide whether or not they are valid:

• It wastes gas.
• It creates sound pollution with the head-banging stereo systems.
• It's a public nuisance.
• It creates traffic concerns.

I'm here to tell you, though, that you can still go cruising, right here in
