That's an understatement I drove from Eugene to Portland and almost fell asleep...thanks to an old guy and his corvette to keep my SRT8 awake

But hope it was fun..I'm looking at a car in Dublin, CA and thought about making the drive...but I might just ship it since it's easier

I agree xlr. The 5 is more direct but, theres nothing to see. Last August, I drove from Cannon beach and hugged the coast pretty much all the wat down to LA. The view of the shores and redwood trees was one of the best drives I ever done. Toad looks like he scored a nice gem.

Yea, I live right on the coast and travel 101 from just over the boarder of CA/OR to 4 hrs north of the board...it was nice at first, but now it gets annoying. Unless I'm in my car then it's awesome.

I do this everyday for work...Thank you Coast Guard

101 is like route 1, but with way less traffic and lights. I don't miss that about the northeast

Word of advice. K&N are OK. I've had issues with several sets where the rubber breaks down and comes apart.

Go BMC or AFE filters. BMC are used of F cars can't get a better recommendation that that. They are pricey but worth it.
