Default SOCAL IS F - Road Trip Anyone This Fall Anyone?

So....It turns out that after a few meets, I've realized that all the SoCal F guys really like driving their cars...

I was watching The Smoking Tire's Review on the Porsche Panamera Turbo S and they took a trip from LA to Yosemite National Park....and um...lots of beautiful mountain roads.

Has anyone here driven up that way? Who's down for a road trip? Maybe when the weather gets cooler like in September/October? Check out some beautiful parts of California and enjoy our cars

Comments? Maybe we can start planning something.

I've been wanting to drive up PCH so bad! I tired doing it last year around memorial day, but it was closed due to road damage. I did get to drive up to the Redwood Forest and drove though Avenue of the Giants....didn't take my IS F though.

With the mileage the IS F gets...we might have to bring some gas cans...LOL

I wish we could have done the Subway! We did Angel's Landing and the Narrows! What an experience! Did you have a tour guide for the Subway or did you do it yourself?

I heard Palomar was really narrow and tight? We did Idyllwild last time and that was a BLAST! OMG. Can't wait till it cools down, then we can go hit that up again.

Palomar all debris and little rocks, is not a good road man. Idlywild was clean and fun, long straight away too, also lake Cuyamaca the roads up there are just amazing,
