LA Trip Via The 1

N54YO · 02-17-2008, 02:24 PM

I just went down to LA this weekend, and thought I would share the experience. Took the 1 down there, quite a bit more of a drive but totally worth it. I don't think I can take the 5 anymore. The view was spectacular and the drive was heaven. Good match for our car I must say. The stock suspension might not stand up so well for a track day, but on a road like this I couldn't ask for more. It soaked up every bump and elevation changes like w/ ease. There was plenty of feed back from the steering through those slower corners. And the power was plentiful for a road like that. All in all, I think everybody need to make a trip like this once in a while. Well I got to head back to the bay now. Have a great Sunday yall.

Before...

After...

By no mean am I a good photographer, just thought I would share the great time, that is all. TATA.

What was wrong with the one dish? Looks maybe like salmon.

N54YO · 02-17-2008, 03:26 PM

All the left over was just tomatoes actually. haha. We killed all the sushi pretty quick. It was so damn good. The place was right next to UCLA. The trip was great. I'm actually heading back now. Using the 5 this time though. Definitely need to do this trip again. Probably sometime in May.

Nice. So you hit Big Sur as well. I've been there so many times and never get bored on that road (hwy 1). Nice pics.

Yea. Big Sur was great! What a drive right? It's the first time for me using that road. Why didn't I use this road before? No idea man. For sure to have more trips like this though. Thanks for all the compliments guys. You guys should do something like this if you have a chance.

I know exactly what you mean 'bout the low on gas part. I was chatting w/ my friend during the drive and man....it seem like forever for us to see a gas station. Good thing I had quite a bit of gas left. Got me worried a bit though.

You really have to try it w/ your E90. It'll be a great experience.
