SF to LA Roadtrip

checuervo · 11-19-2007, 02:41 AM

Just broke in the car this weekend with its first long roadtrip. SF to LA and back. Screaming down the 5 was amazing. 120 never felt so smooth.

But nothing can beat the trip back on Highway one. Top down between Lompoc and Guadalupe (I think it was) I came across a longgg stretch of fresh paved road. That road and this car were why God invented driving, I'm sure of it!

If you are in the area, you have got to take that drive. It was definitely worth every penny of the speeding ticket I got two hours later on 101 ...

haha glad you had fun. 101 sucks! I got my first ticket there which is why I hate it.

How long did it take you coming back up on 1?

Well, not counting about two hours of stops it was a little more than 7 hours. And for a good two or three of those I forced myself to go the speed limit.

My only regret, was that it was pretty foggy for a lot of it coming back. That's when we decided to stay on 101 instead of take the Big Sur coastal route ... which I hear is the best part!
