LOL!~! He mentioned it was a bit chilly.

I hope to attend the next track event, I'll be bringing the 700hp Vespa shop scooter.

Just wondering, do you guys sell 89 octane out there???

I have to agree, it's sometimes hard to not drive up the coast or take a cruise on a nice day. PCH has some very nice roads and offshoots.

We have 87, 89, and 91... Unfortunately no 93 which sucks.

That's even worse cause we got 100 oct at about 6.00 per gallon here for real running!!! BUT remember Aaron, you can always get the good old 89 here!!!
