I was going to go, but the caravan that headed out from the valley was a rolling roadblock @ 55mph. 4 lanes across. It was disgusting.

So I bailed out by Mailbu Canyon and went and hit the twisties instead.

To those who were in the caravan, there were a lot of pissed off folks behind you. Way to be selfish with hwy 101.

I think you guys are crazy mofos driving that car on the street even though it's practically stock. I'm too scared to drive our car on the street which is why we trailer everywhere.

Yeah, I agree. While the event was great, the caravan was meh. Next year I'll be sleeping in and driving there at 80mph vs 55mph.

We did get an evil satisfaction watching people cut each other off weaving through traffic, only to be pulled over by CHP a few miles up. Sweet sweet justice.

I was there, in my booth, working. I had to drive a giant truck to get all our gear up there. My 135i was in the garage at home
