Took a drive on PCH today...
Cloudy morning but sun broke thru in the afternoon. Stopped to take some pictures. Additional images in classifieds for 2007 SL55.

She is lovely! I wish I had my SL on that coast...nothing like driving with the top down along the PCH. Enjoy!

A little off topic...
I drove from LA to SF awhile back...any idea how much longer of a drive if I took the PCH? I'm headed to LA next March with my wife and we are planning to drive to SF and I was considering taking the more scenic PCH.

Yeah, it took me 2 hours longer, but definitely worth it if you have the time!

Great drive
I love driving to the Bay Area via the "coastal" route. Give yourself a good 8hrs but I think it's worth it.
