We can modify that cruise route depending on how long of a drive people are down for.
I suggest the following:
Meet at Starbucks on the corner of Stevens Creek and De Anza Blvd in Cupertino at 11am. Grab coffee, meet everyone, and then head on the drive.
Go up De Anza Blvd to CA-9 through Saratoga and to CA-35 which is relatively easy to drive. Then from 35 we take 92 over to 280 North, and exit in San Bruno to eat at Hooters at Tanforan. OR: we can continue on 92 to Foster City and eat at Red Robins in Bridgepointe.
The drive part would take an hour and a half tops. Think of this being from 11am-3pm including coffee/drive/lunch.
I suggest this route because of the relative ease of the roads. CA-84 (Woodside) is fun but really technical. Our W202's struggle there because of the weight and slow steering (I've had to hand over hand it in some of these turns on 84 and even drop it into 1st).
Our cars would do much better on CA-9 and CA-35.
Anyways, just an idea, let me know what you guys think!

I think June 6th is still a great date. This is what I suggest. Please vote so we can have this decided soon:
Date: Saturday June 6th
Time: 11:00 AM
Location: Starbucks at the corner of Stevens Creek and De Anza Blvd
Address: 20520 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, CA
Schedule:
Meet at Starbucks. Park together, grab coffee, get to know each other.
At noon, drive as a group up De Anza Blvd to CA-9 through Saratoga and to CA-35 which is relatively easy to drive. Then from 35 we take 92 over to 280 North, and exit in San Bruno to park together and eat at The Shops at Tanforan (near SFO - where 280 meets 380).
Address of the mall: 1150 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA
We would arrive for lunch by 1-1:30pm depending on how fast we do the drive (everyone should drive at their own pace, this is a leisurely cruise for fun after all, safety comes first
).
Plenty of places to choose from at Tanforan: Red Robin Burgers, L&L Hawaiian BBQ, BJ's, Hooters, etc.
Let me know what you guys think!

Sorry guys my car has a few problems I have to take care of. I most likely cant make it on the 6th. I thought it was a lil too soon in the first place knowing how slow this forum can be at times. I think we should push this of for the end of the next month
