    I have absolutely no idea what this is defining cruising as. What even is repetitive driving? Whats a traffic control point? Google is bringing up military stuff.

      Get in your swanky car and drive through town to show it off; then loop around and drive through town again to show it off some more. That’s cruising.

        The closest “city” to my shitty town was too poor for swanky cars. We used to cruise the strip in shit boxes.

            During the recession I saw a Honda with honest to God plastic painted dinner plates bolted to the cars wheels. It was ridiculous .

      I see you’ve never been in Alabama on a Friday night.

      Ok just kidding. There’s a diff. In Alabama there’s so little to do people would hop in each other’s cars and just drive slow around the block, usually around some central point like a Mcdonald’s.

      In Cali it’s to showoff. This caused some… problems. Traffic, yeah, they called it traffic.
