Yeah, I'm assuming he takes 152. Google says that should take 30+ minutes, but that doesn't factor in that fact that he owns a Subaru.

I was trying to put together a list of like 10 places and have like a weekly meet up but then once a month do one of the alternate places. Could be a drive or whatever. Meet up and roll out. Just to add some variety.

I'd be stoked on getting something closer to me. I never get to hang at the car meets anymore because I live too far away and now I've got a new baby and what not. If it's closer I can get out. I used to hit up the aptos/SC one and still will every now and again but Sonic is 10 minutes from my house.
Yeah I though you were further north as well...how come I havent spotted you then Geez! Oh and Congrats on the baby

We definitely need to set up a meet in south Santa Clara county. I tried to get a Starbucks MoHill one going but that didnt work so well.
As for other meets; I drive 45 minutes to work each way and most of the time when I get home I am just ready to relax, not get in the Subie and drive another 30-40 minutes each way to a meet, ya know?
Sonic is about 10 from me as well, less if I drive the backroads...

That should be a routing option on google maps, pick what car you have and it could change the route +/- depending.

I've been trying to explain that to people when they try to get me to leave early for places.... sheesh. At least someone understands.

Wave or honk when you go by. I used to have a giant pirate flag on the house but it got DESTROYED during those crazy wind storms.

The probably is that you can only go as fast as the car ahead of you, which usually is some silly girl in an oversized Chevy.

yeah 152 SUCKS. I always get stuck behind people that don't realize that you don't have to brake to slow down and like to drive with they're foot on the brake pedal the whole time and never go over 28mph and get pissed at me when I flash my brights at them...

129 is getting to wear it's not much better. We have tons of big rigs mixed in with (not being a dick, but) illegals and field workers. Then you toss in commuters than actually know how to drive and there not being ANY passing lanes and it's a bad mix. They thought taking the passing lanes out and putting those damn rumble strips in would help things... I think it's made it worse. Hell someone got KILLED literally where you turn to go to my house a couple days ago and it's happened a LOT.

Hell I liked it better when I heard motorcycles BLASTING by my house late at night on fun runs.

No I dont There's a few of us out there with CF hoods
I just did a photo-shoot down in Hollister at the park right off of the main drag...cant remember the name. That's a cool park. Too bad it doesn't have more parking.
