Yeah even with the rain, we're sticking to the meet planned this Sat in San Luis Obispo and I'm surprised we still have about 25 cars going.

Where is this held? Went by there on Saturday, drove around the area, but couldn't find the event... I guess people may not have been out due to the cloudy weather and it being St. Patty's!

Last I heard it had moved across Winchester Blvd over to the cinema parking lot. I haven't gone there since the move so I can't personally confirm.

I've never been -- but you could always try this place on the same side of the street :

"The Flames Restaurant (aka Coffee Shops) represent the present evolution of the classic American diner experience from the 1950's with a 21st century tropical Las Vegas-style ambience."

Good solution. I forgot that was there. Forecast not looking goos for this Saturday. Hope it changes over the next few days.

Swung by SR this morning about 11am, but no one was around. I assume it was due to the weather, even though it hadn't really started raining yet. I had to be down in the area anyway, and had a chance to take a look at the Model S at the Tesla store. I talked to the sales guy for a bit and was impressed with the car. I noted that it has electric steering -- just like the new 991.

It'll be interesting to see if this works out as a truly practical electric car.







Now that's an impressive center console -- hope it's easier to use than the BMW iDrive:


The batteries are in the chassis. It's easy to see why there's plenty of interior room:


If you thought there wasn't much to look at under the rear deck of the 991 -- here's your engine:

i think S is legit. price is right too. with gas prices creeping up, it makes more sense each day. if you get a chance to drive one, it's quite amazing with an extremely low CG. corners better than sports car.

Great pics Tony! Beautiful day and a pretty nice turnout. It's the first time I've been at this new location and I like it -- easier access and a lot more space.
