I know. I love driving that road.
When I was at Cal Poly - I'd drive up or down HWY 1 whenever I'd get the chance. I'd leave as late in the evening as I could - and blast down or up 1 to get to MRY or SLO as needed.
It got to the point it would take me only 15 to 20 minutes longer to go the coast than up 101. I had the 2002 then - awesome car for that road. Just plain fun. My tires lasted 16,000 miles. I wonder why. lol. Goodyear European Eagle NCT - back in 1985 they were about the best game in town for a 13" tire.
One of these days - I need to try this in the 997.
Wonder how long it would take me now?
