Since there are so many of us here all over the country & more, I've wanted to try and connect w/some of you all who are in my neck of the woods. I've been wanting to do a car meet/small road trip with others since I got my M35 last year.

I partially blame the Road Trips feature so awesomely implemented in Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox One, which exacerbated this urge for some rides! :cool:

Anybody around this area interested? I'm in Sacramento County! Hit me up!

Cheers all! :bigthumb:

Awesome! You're near-ish the PCH. I've never driven on that road. But, I've wanted to so badly.

Cool to (virtually) meet you!

Socal guy here, the drive up/down PCH is fabulous. I've never taken the 17 from San Jose, but I enjoy drive on the 152 heading towards Watsonville. I'd recommend going all the way down to Santa Maria/Nipomo and check out one of the best steakhouses I've had, be sure to call ahead and make a reservation. http://www.yelp.com/biz/jockos-steak-house-nipomo

Steakhouse.

(Homer drool)

What is the possibility of doing a group drive like this one day? With the research I've done on driving on the PCH, I know to never, ever, ever get gas there. lol

Too many highway patrol on PCH but nice ocean view.
Highway 17 to Santa Cruz is pretty cool when there isn't any traffic.

Mental note made.

Hey Neighbor!

I was there too on Friday!!!! Utterly awesome car show! I test drove a lot of cars. :D

Best. Personal Day. Ever.

I was fortunate to catch a 60 second video on my phone of a McClaren being moved around in it's space. The engine roar was undeniably sexy.

Cool deal on the McLaren! Being a big Nissan fan, this was my highlight...

HA! Awesome!!!!

I have a pic of that car. Lucky you man!

I was very letdown that I didn't see any Infinitis there. Has our brand already become an outcast? lol Ahh, to have been able to even glance at a Eau Rogue...

Same... Don't know why there weren't any there.
Hoping to make it to the San Francisco Auto Show in November, I've always wanted to go.

Ooooh, I didn't know of the SF one. I thought there was one in LA in November also. Least that's what the Ford guy said.

Time to plan another PTO day...
