Orange Crush 1LE · 07-08-2013, 03:10 AM

I picked up my 1LE a week ago, just in time to take a 4-day road trip down Highway 1. My lady and I joined some friends for breakfast in Carmel, 17 Mile Drive, then a drink in Pebble Beach. Then it was off to Paso Robles for wine tasting, before heading to Santa Barbara for a couple of days. On the way home, we drove up the coast for lunch in Morro Bay.

1200 miles in a fun-filled first week. The car's now broken in, this thing's got balls!

Congrats on the new car. Driving the PCH is on my bucket list. It's the few thousand miles between here and there that keep me from getting it done!

Small world, I was towing my blue 1991 Camaro race car home from a race weekend with NASA at Laguna Seca down the 1 from Monterey and saw your car heading north. I'm going to get a 2014 1LE and set it up as a track car.

I saw you too! Going back to Seca any time soon? I'm headed to Thunderhill July 20-21. I may hit Seca on July 30 with Hooked on Driving, haven't figured out if I can get work off yet.

Nice! I may just do that next time. I plan on looking into Camaro and muscle car clubs to see what cruises or events are planned.

I was also on Highway One over the weekend. I stopped at Marina to do some autox.

That's cool you saw me too. I can't pass another Camaro without noticing it. I live in SoCal and compete with NASA mostly at Buttonwillow, California Speedway, Chuckwalla, and Willow Springs. Laguna Seca was a crossover event with the NorCal NASA chapter. I don't know when I'll get back up there but my wife's family is from San Jose so we do get up there every now and then. I'm sure once you get your 1LE on the track, you'll be addicted to driving on the track just like I am.

If anyone is ever coming this way to the PCH let me know ..
