Have you ever driven the roads to/from Alice's?
I know several people who drive down from the East Bay and make a half-day of it.
Plus, it's a great way to meet the other E55-heads who are local as well.
Just my 2 cents, but there's never going to be one place all bay area E55 owners will be happy with.

I've driven them before, but it's been a long time. Too many bicyclists and motorcycles for my taste.
I know most of the Bay Area W210 E55 guys. We used to have regular meets where 6-7 cars would usually show up.
There was also a good size group of us that cruised down to the Private Lounge event at Laguna Seca last year. Had a W210 E55, some W211 E55s, a C63, an SL55 and my E63. Also had a CLK55 fall in with us part way there. I have no idea how we didn't have the CHP after us on that drive.

My friend in a W213 E63S said some of the roads to Alice's made the car feel like a battleship. haha

The last time I was on that road was in a fox body 5.0 with a bunch of suspension mods and sticky tires that I had in the early 2000s.

I remember trying to pull together a GTG at Laguna Sec when the SL65BL was launched and running on the track. Only MJ50 showed up. Turned out great!
