What else do you need?It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Road trip to Monterey next month. What to take?
Even though I parked in the farthest spot, the one other guest parked right next o me. 
I had good drive to Huntington Beach to see Ron P. and then it was the predictable hell on the 405. I cut over to PCH at Santa Monica and drove the coast to Port Hueneme. 101 was good except for a construction area at Santa Barbara. I picked up some Ferraris between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. We had some fun until the CHP incident. The car has been running great so far(knock on wood).
I'm picking up the convoy where highway 41 meets the 101 in a couple of hours. We're doing the wine country safari on the way to Monterey.
A drive on US 1 in SoCal

Chas,
Glad to see you made it safely! I love the Porsche pic with the pigeons
It is so nice to see how much better the "infamous $500 M5" looks now she is in your capable hands. I always thought it was so sexy when I owned it, but the old girl looks even better now!!!
She loves road trips too, and never misses a beat. We rode her hard from So. Cal to Vancouver and back, so you should have no problem with a short one to Monterey. Have fun, be safe.

Well I made it home with zero issues. The car ran like a Swiss watch the entire trip. In fact, I think it ran better and better the farther I went. Total distance was 1003 miles and the S38 used about 3/4 of a quart of oil.
My only complaint is that a cassette wouldn't eject between Ventura and Huntington Beach so the music was a bit repetitive for a time.
All in all, a great trip with great people.
