I can’t tell you anything, you don’t already know

The thing I don’t like about cali, at least southern ca, is the cars. driveing around out there, it seems like a porche is an everyday car, a lambo wasn’t uncomon, ferraris were everywhere.
but on some of the nicer roads, which ca is loaded with, there wasn’t nice car to be seen. well, there was an exige, but that’s is. on probably 100 miles of twisty moutain roads, I saw one denct car. I say sh*t loads of bikes, on one of the nicer roads, mullhuland hwy, all I saw were bikes, probably 30 miles of nothing but bikes. not a single car anywhere. but just the same, not a single nice car, with that one exception.
the loud as hell lambo? pulling in the shopping lot accross from the hotel, he’s bipping the throttle because he bought a slushbox, and autos suck, they suck even more on cars like lambos. that beatuiful Z car, parked in someones drive, the ferrari 430, parked in front of the club. the regular bmw? stuck in traffic on a sunday afternoon.
of the 500-1000 cars parked along topnaga cayon road for the fesival? not one nicer than a mustang. not a single one.
it seems like such a nice car place, the weather is beautiful, there isn’t much salt in the air, there shouldn’t be much to worry about other than the CHP, and the CARB people, I mean people there make plenty of money to be able to afford such cars, (along that road there probably wasn’t a single house wothless than 1.5 mil) but they don’t chose to use them at all.
that, and there are just to many of them, way way to many people everywhere you look. which wasn’t a surpize at all, but the fact that i found some amazing roads, and no one was using them for their intended prupose was a sirpize. not even mike, who used to talk about the roads with a bit of a reverance, back in high school and college, I didn’t even see his old clapped out beratta driving those roads on the fine weekend days.
it was quite a disappointment, after reading and hearing about it for the last fifteen years.
