Well, the story actually began a week ago...

Going up to norcal for the first time in months.


After I saw this pic, I got a haircut, lol.


It's a tree w/ a 3rd brake light.


Almost there...


This is what we saw on the way there. Don't think I'll ever order anything from them. BTW FTL = for the lose.


So THIS is the white friend I've been waiting to meet


3UZ oh snap


Tan Interior just like me


Drives good mang


Carquinez Bridge is a $4 toll.

Oh Hi Berkeley!


BTW my G35 wheels are for sale:


So why am I selling my g35 wheels? here's a teaser:


Someone wrote this on the wall in Berkeley..


Taken at the top of the Campenile. It's $2 for non-Cal students to go up there.


Then i went into the city..






K going back to socal to get ready for EOS 7

Kat Williams is right, you need yourself some white friends:







My s2k friend thinks the AC kit makes everything looks like an srt4. Tell that to those guys.










Patiently waiting to see who wins the raffle....and then they called my number


Chris is such a heavy sleeper

Abandoned GS


How NOT to use a polarizer


They say socal traffic is the worst...well if you look closely in this pic, i think norcal is worse than that.


We couldn't decide if those were 20s or 22s, so we'll let you be the judge.


Berkeley again? YEP. This time no pics because I was too tired.


Ok, don't try this at home. Holding a DSLR w/ one hand sticking out of sunroof while driving is very dangerous.


Let the fun begin... =D


Is the extra hour or so worth it by taking the PCH? i think so. This is what make CA different from TN; Tennessee can never see...




...the largest ocean on earth from a cliff.

Someone needed to **** badly












At least these guys make use of the FJ chassis better than most of the people out there




We took some sweet jumps off of this thing


Fog is setting in.. at 12pm?

After 2 hours or so, the scenery becomes redundant. So we decided to take some shots














Here's a clean example to both norcal and socal...of how each street and highway SHOULD be


The coolest part of the 101 is the section right after leaving Santa Barbara



Thanks for looking!

P.S. benxd has the other part of the story. Stay tuned!

if you read my thread, you will see that he fixed his gs400, repainted it crystal white, and got a 3uz and VIN # swap

Mean, simply mean K!

bad@$$ shots you got of your trip w/Chris before, during, and after EOS

-bad hair day bro?
-it's actually a tree but they hooked up the xmas lights early
-call me stupid, dont understand what/why you wouldnt buy from FTL? (o/t, FTL, logistically means full truck load)
-think Chris needs a hair cut, you shouldve taken him with you; gotten 2 for 1!
-congrats on the wheels, hope to see them REAL soon!
-who's SC is that with the G35 wheels? i want THOSE!!!
-whats with the magic pepsi can? david blaine street magic? LOL
-patiently checking out the raffle giveaways or something else?
-nor cal traffic isnt as bad as so cal; nor cal'ers just dont go over the speed limit like so cal. i realize this 4-5x/year i'm up there and it still continues to **** me off
-CHRIS: CONGRATS BRO!
**********He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!**********

Good to see you guys had a great road trip home from EOS7.

I agree the road past Santa Barbara is nice.

Next time you gotta take the 17 mile drive through Monterey.


I strongly recommend taking the 101 scenic route between SoCal and NorCal.

It adds about an hour to the trip, but it actually goes by quickly with all the scenic views to keep you entertained.


Maybe you should organize a caravan up or down the 101 for EOS next year?
