I decide to take my 15 year old son on his first drive of Mulholland Highway.
We left our place around ten thirty with plans to go up the 405 to the 101 and pick up Mulholland where it starts it's westward journey to the the Pacific. We would take Mulholland to PCH and then go north and have lunch at Neptune's Net (he has never been there either). Neptune's is a great little food shack on the Pacific Coast highway that is a favorite for surfers, bikers and car nuts.
The weather was perfect, the 911 ran flawlessly and I had forgotten how beautiful the canyons can be. I'm usually watching traffic, the road, gauges etc that the last few times I guess I've ignored the scenery. My son Riley reminded me it's hard to believe all this rough beauty is in the middle of LA.
The best part, besides spending time with my son was the cars.
We saw, in no particular order, a half dozen Ferrari 430 Spiders, an old Dino, a 575 and a 599, an Audi R8, Ariel Atom, Ford GT40, a couple of Lambo Gallardo's and a Bugatti Veyron.
LA may suck some times but there are not to many other places to live where you and your son can jump in a car, drive the canyons, have some great greasy seafood by the Pacific, see some of the worlds greatest cars, watch some surf girls and be home in 2 hours.
Sometime I just love LA
