Driving up the coast on the 1 - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I'm jealous. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 15 years, I had my 914, but not my Boxster or my M3. Driving in the Santa Cruz mountains and on Hwy. 1 was simply incredible. I used to take the 914 up to Mendocino in the late '80's, I'd drive the whole way from Marin up to Mendocino on Hwy. 1, a fantastic winding drive for hours on end. I'd love to take the Boxster on the same route, but that might be a bit of a long drive from here in Phoenix....

Monterey to Cambria/San Luis gives me anxiety like im gonna fall over the cliffs hahaha... and driving it alone...ya feel like im in a horror movie where some redneck inbred nuclear hills that have eyes are gonna pop my tires and attack me out on the lonely road :ah: haha...

But i'll be down for the drive

Oak Creek Canyon on 89 is nice. Yeah it will never beat CA 1 but hey, you're a long ways away! Man I do miss CA 1. I spent hours on it.
