Road Trip - Bay Area to San Diego

Making my first real road trip in the 350 starting tonight. Interested to see how I feel after an 8-9 hour ride. Hopefully I can keep my foot out of it long enough to see what kind of mileage I get at 72mph for 4-5 hours.

Enjoy the trip bud.

I'll be making a similar trip as well (SF to LA) and going to see how it is going down on 19" rims and lowered :P Hopefully it isn't to bad.

Phewww that's a long trip. I made a trip with my gf from NJ to Ocean City, MA about two months ago. Other than almost falling asleep driving at 11pm due to a day of class and work, I was pretty comfortable!

But then again, my trip was only 4 hours compared to what might be an 8 hour trips for you. Enjoy!
