I'll be visiting SF on Dec 17th - 20th...
any recommendation of where to go and etc?
yeah...I'll be heading up there with my yellow ducky

if you see me, and happen to know it's me... ^^ just wave... hahahahahaha

Will be staying over at Fairmont Hotel...
I hope the driveway is not too steep...b/c by the time my car will be dropped @_@...
and even w/o dropping the car...i'm already scraping it...

 

If I were you I would not let anyone else park your car...and you car will most likely scrape!

 

hehe.. u can always park ur car at my house... no scrape! LOL

I hope my car is ready by then...

lets go for photoshoot, Kev!

 

if you are driving up I have a road you must drive.


Take the 5 up to buttonwillow where you will see hwy 58. Take hwy 58 over to where it ends in santa margarita at the 101. Then take the 101 up.

58 is an unreal road. It's about 80 miles long the first 20 or so miles are just LONG LONG LONG straights where you can really get on it. It then has about 60 miles of great flowing twisties.

The road is just unreal, and it's just deap empty. I've driven it 10+ times and I can count the people i've seen on the road w/ my hands. The scenery is amazing also.

 

Scott: Thanx for the tip...
I've just looked it up on yahoo map, hehehe... it doesn't really take that much longer to drive up to SF compared to I-5.
I guess this is the route I'll take...wahahahaha
btw... after looking at the picture... is there a gas station on the way??? b/c I don't wanna stall in the middle of no where... hahahahaha

Endra: for sure dude... but remind me to bring my camera with me...hahahaha... i always forget things...^___^
and ur car better be done by then...haha

 

There is a group of gas stations in buttonwillow where you get off the 5 to connect w/ the 58. The drive may ad 45 - 60 minutes to your drive but it's well worth it. I do it everytime I drive up there. My avg speed last time through 58 was still something around 78 mph

friendly reminders: buckle-up and dont forget to bring ur radar!

 

yes, radar is a must. I was just up in san fran a few weeks back comming down the 101 just empty doing 120 when ding ding ding, V1 gives me a warning and just enough time to slow down. Nearly gave myself a heart attack!

 

radar @_@...
hm... i have to send my V1 unit back... for exchange of a new one ~><~...
i got the old unit ^___^

 

had you just ordered it and they sent you the old one? Mine is from 99 but i'm about to upgrade soon


V1 is a great company, if you call them and let them know you just want to hold onto it for a week while on a trip they wouldn't have a problem

 

i have two 99 units sitting at home doing nothing ^__^
b/c the suction failed...
gonna custom make a bracket to secure the unit near the top of the windshield...
b/c it hits the window every time i accelerate ^_^

I'll be doing the upgrade only...probably for 1 unit for now... and keep the other unit for newer ones (if they're gonna have one)

I believe the upgrade is 189 + shipping...^^
not bad... at least better than purchasing a new unit ^_^

 

get w/ it slacker!

 

where is the best place/price to get v1?

 

^__^ i got it from their website...
http://www.valentineone.com/

 

i think beastpower.com
sells it for 50 bucks cheaper... not quite sure.. i thought i saw it somewhere... worth to check.
