California Driving - Wish I had the P-car!

On a family vacation driving through CA and came up the PCH yesterday coming into SF. There was a report of a "slip out" whatever that is and rocks that fell and the PCH was closed N. of Santa Cruz and we were detoured on a road that eventually hit I-280 - (Route 85 maybe?) this had to be one of the best driving roads I was ever on!! I wished so bad that I had the 911 with the top down instead of the Pacifica family mobile! With the clouds moving in it was a bit treacherous and eerie but how cool! This is one of those trip that either my 911 or 914 would be welcome! I've been thinking how I could get my car out here for a vacation without having to drive it here? I swaer I've seen more Porsche's in a couple days than I see all Summer in Ohio, but a bit surprised I have not seen any 914's? I did see two Carrera GT's in Orange County that sounded like F1 cars! Great trip!

the auto train runs from lorton va. to sanford fla. it would be great to have one that runs east-west. lets you off within a short days drive to the rockies, allows you to bypass a couple of boring days driving [no offense middle america]

I live in the canyons...Los Angeles has some of the best twisties, if not the best, in the world. Sheer volume of canyon roads alone must rival the best...Never gets boring.

Don't listen to Vance, the roads here suck. Mull has it right, go to LA - best to stay down south

What I meant to say is that the roads here suck and that they are much better in the San Jose region of California...Simple brain malfunction on my part, I am sure nobody would argue with that.
