Don't listen to some of these hayseed schmucks, SF is one of the world's great cities and you have the opportunity to experience it for a few hours. Forget the car-related crap. I'm an incurable gearhead but also like to experience the world, SF is so gorgeous that if you are not prepared for it you will blow a fuse. Your mind will not be able to comprehend what you are looking at while standing in front of the Fairmont Hotel looking down on the bay and the bridge. To call it a "postcard view" is a major understatement. It will blow your mind.

I also like driving around SF, it's an adventure as long as you avoid the really traffic-clogged streets. Cross the GG bridge to Marin and get your senses blown some more w/ the beauty of Sausilito, Mill Valley and the road to Stinson Beach. (Highway 1). This is god's country. If you are from the midwest, like me, you will not believe your eyes the first time you see these places.

Hit the car places too but don't short-change yourself by missing the city and environs. That's my .02.
