But even when I lived in SoCal, in Orange county, it would have taken 3 hours to get to Angeles Crest in normal (horrible) traffic.

Good stuff is an hour from me. Maybe 1.5 hrs with traffic. Round trip of 3 hours of transit just to get to/from a nice road.... I don't do it often.

That is quite a waste of time unless theres actually nothing better to do. I don’t take backroad runs too often cause they not that worth a drive for me, with the exception of where I took trudy the roads of Clifton, about 15 mins from home.

Sounds like next time when I visit LA with the intention of driving on those roads, I gotta make sure my accommodation is not far from those roads. I may potentiallt visit SF as well.
If you're going to visit LA with a plan of driving good roads, I'd stay in Santa Monica. Beach and fun stuff around, incredible eye candy, then you can take PCH through Malibu for about 30 minutes to get to the Malibu canyon roads. There are so many epic driving roads in a small area it's crazy. My favorite was a Coral Canyon, it starts at a 76 station on PCH with a big ball that you can catch in movies all the time. It winds up into the mountains and goes past some houses, once past the houses, it's epic turn after epic turn and eventually DEAD ENDS. There's never any traffic on it as a result, so you can really hammer up there.
A dude on the DeadZone used to set up canyon cruises out there on the last sunday of every month. Me and Rawbdog went to a few. Was a blast. We'd drive for a few hours, then all go grab lunch somewhere, and sometimes wind up at someones house if there were several people who had work or mods to do on their cars and have a wrenching party.

There are good roads all over the LA area though, I went to Angeles Crest those times because I was staying/working in the Valley, so it was only about 30 minutes away. Obviously from Long Beach or whatever it's much further.

I once saw a mercedes clk convertible carrying a couch that was essentially sitting sideways, but crooked, squished between front and rear seats

^Negative. It was actually pretty stable. I think the Reliant Robins, with their one-in-front, two-in-back are way worse: brake into a corner and /goodbye/.
