Yes, Hwy. 1 through Big Sur and Carmel is awesome. I've done it on the motorcycle and in a cage a few times in both directions. It's not fast when there's someone in front of you, but the scenery is breathtaking. Last time I was in Napa I had a Dodge Magnum for a rental. No chance at all to unleash the power of that car anywhere in the area except maybe around Petaluma and Sonoma. Napa was a parking lot. My once-favorite place there, V. Sattui, had a line to get into the parking lot. St. Helena was also a big parking lot. Used to be a sleepy, cool little town.
