Be sure to follow 1 in the Big Sur area (hop over to Monterey, then south through Carmel, then down the coast)

Here is the road just north of San Simeon

My first road trip in the new stang is gonna be coast to coast... Conneticut to Seattle Washington... buying it just about a month before going across country. Should be a blast. This will be the fourth time I've driven cross country in a car.

Daniel,

I'll probably be in town if the Arturo Gatti vs. Floyd Mayweather fight happens at Olympic Stadium in June 2005,

Montreal is another great road trip, I might go F1 weekend as well.

I am taking her to New York. Gotta show my friends why it pays to live down south.
Then I will turn around and send her to Florida-TWICE.The beach and Universal. To thank my employers for making her possible and drink margaritas.
She gets three big uns her first year out.
It will be a lot more enjoyable with her too!

I was at the Indy the other day, i much prefer to go see the Indy then the F1 racing, lot more you can see and do at Indy, they allow you to go in the pits look at the cars and see the mechanics working on the cars...i think F1 is more like for snobby people, if you know what i mean....but hey, if you're ever in the neighbourhood, let me know.....I might have my SE by then you knows.... :worship:

Don't get a ticket in Clatskanie. If you're going from Vancouver, WA to 101, you'll have to go through the speed trap I grew up in.



I'm planning on going up to Sonohmish, WA from the San Francisco bay area,right after I get mine. To get in painted by www.killerpaint.com from tv shows like Monster Garage, Overhaulin', & Rides.

You grew up in a speed trap?? Wasn't it a little cramped??

I love that route, did it up and down in July 2001, loved it, ah the memories.....(and sunburn on one side of my face.....)

Thought about Vegas, but since it's the car theft capital of America now, thought against it. (Unless it's just a day trip)

Probably going to go to Denver (through the Grand Canyon and Rockies). Trip won't happen until next Spring/summer.

Short trip (under 400 miles) will be to San Diego.

I will head from Pittsburgh to Virginia Beach. My family is from there and would love to show my parents their new "grandchild."

I have traveled those roads alot and last time my wife helped me find a nice twisty back road with little traffic on it. It is calling my name.

I would drive anywhere really. There's always the Toronto to Quebec City corridor. Or a drive to New York or Detroit.

But I'd definately like to take her up north south of Algonquin where there are gorgeous winding roads with Canadian Shield (black granite) walls and tall trees lining the side of the road. Been up there many times.....could drive for hours.

Steve, pete, been near Haliburton or Minden? Basically the Haliburton Highlands.
