Road Trip to SoCal-Ventura Highway here we come

Taking my son a college tour tomorrow, give the E550 an airing out. San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Irvine and of course San Diego. The car is cleaned up and ready to go, laser and radar set, heading out in the am!!

I love that song "Ventura Highway" by America, one of the greatest road tunes!

That's a nice, scenic trip! Do you also have ELP's From the Beginning in some format to listen to along the way?

FTB. Send your kid to SD. Nice scenery, not many party spots, not too many good looking Asian girls... Nice whiteys tho...

I went to UCSD about 20 years ago and wouldn't worry too much sending one of my girls there...

Very nice, this is what this car was made for.
BTW, my best friend went to UCSB, spent quite a few weekends there, ummm...party school to say the least, but I'm sure ur son already knew that

Golfster I have all the those old rock tunes ready to go (on the harddrive or IPod), have you been out to NorCal lately?

Better get to sleep have to be on the road at 530 am.

Enjoy FTB!

You'll be amazed at how incredibly "at home" this car feels on the highway. It's truly a masterpiece of long distance cruising. It's the cars art.

With the 550 and Distronic (I assume you meant it with the laser thing), I can only imagine it improves on what I'm gushing about.
