Maybe?

Axton sounds enthusiastic :) but I think the Beach Boys and that Sequoias girl caught the vibe better.

Anybody remember American Graffiti? That movie captured, mirrored, the California I grew up in. Beach Boys, Wolfman Jack, car culture.

We used to drag race on unopened new freeways. Now those same stretches are elbow to elbow traffic on even more lanes, seemingly 24/7.

It's sad but my sister lives in San Francisco (bro-in-law got in early with google), and I have enjoyed multiple visits there in the past. And my two kids would surely love to go visit their cousins and stay with them for a vacation, but I really am reluctant to even consider taking my children to the city of San Fran at this point. Just no telling what we will see on the streets, or how likely it is that my rental car gets its windows smashed out for a grab and dash. We might fly to reno and meet them in Lake Tahoe next winter though. That is, if their Tesla can make it up the mountain to Donner. They might have to recharge for an hour or two along the way.

Anyway back to hauling wrong.

They may have to haul wrong with their Tesla pulling the generator. Jon

19 trips in a little over 2 years was all I will ever need to see of one of the most beautiful/awful places on earth!

I was reading about the racing scene up in Mulholland Drive back in the day. It sounded like some pretty wild times. Supposedly Paul Newman would show up occasionally, as well as a few other well known names.

There was lots of racing along Mulholland, surprisingly, there wasn’t more deaths than there actually were

When I needed to rent a U---- trailer for a couple trips from Illinois to Iowa, it was cheaper & easier to just rent it as "local", make a few 300 mile trips, and bring it back to Illinois. U---- doesn't like the expense of having to move all their stuff around. One Way - "from" those states like Illinois or Cali, probably a big problem for them... I hadn't moved here yet.

I truly hate Cali traffic!
or Chicago, or New York or even Seattle, for goodness sake! Non-stop, no more "rush hour" there. More like 6am to 9pm.

Never been to Seattle and now that it’s the remake of San Francisco. I don’t think I’ll ever go there in my future.!

Long ago I got a stern lecture from the local U-Haul manager that local rentals are NOT to be taken out of the area. And there's a major surcharge if it is seen far away. I don't know if this is still their policy.
