If you are thinking driving, the lack of “bandwidth” is the lack of lanes on the highways, or the merges that aren’t done correctly. Zipper merges are the best, but aren’t executed well by most. I expect to see signage by “governments” in the future that might help out, especially in the US.

Who doesn’t like an Oregon Coast lighthouse? 🤟🏻

That last paragraph rings true. Well, all of it excepting Europe SC trips. My wife hasn’t seen Europe at all just yet, aside from Italy. It will be targeted based on location, and we won’t be clearing countries. We are driving this year to see the eclipse in TX and she will have to shoulder...

Facial hair FTW!

While I applaud the kiddos, have they actually driven >50% of the leg of the journey?? 😉 @PhillyKid is who we have all been rooting for, but they/he cant play the game, as designed. A two household, two Tesla adult family is much harder, sans kiddos. (For the game) Happy to carve out...

I went to directly to route since you’re are so far afield. Do you want everything coming back from East to West? This group is normally helpful for route planing for longish legs. Depends on the route, depends on the car. Nobody here wants you proving they don’t work.

I think David is using jargon I grok. What/how/where do you spend your mental energy aka bandwidth. “That knowledge expires so quickly”, wow…that alone could describe our current political makeup. I think the challenge of our times is one person, who should be shunned, blamed, excoriated and...

Check-ins for 2023-12-28 - Modesto - Joyce Ave, CA (#1739) That clears out the local-ish area for now.

Check your WiFi connection at Bishop, CA Rocking West. Don’t be too shocked by the unhappy homeowner nearby. 🤣

Check-ins for 2023-12-27 - Soda Springs, CA (#1735) - South Lake Tahoe, CA (#1736) - Mammoth Lakes - Old Mammoth Rd, CA (#1737) - Bishop - Rocking West Dr, CA (#1738) First Cybertruck sighting in the wild, an RBC early model at Gardnerville SC, above the lake. The couple didn’t look like they...

Congrats on 900!!

Maybe @israndy snapped one while I wasn’t looking. Our timing, while unplanned worked out quite well. Randy only waited a minute for us at Palos Verdes. And only 10 minutes at Granite Dr.

Check-ins for 2023-12-23 - Walnut Creek - 1600 Palos Verdes Mall, CA (#1731) - Dixon, CA (#1732) - Rocklin - Granite Dr, CA (#1733) (First to check-in) - Vacaville - Browns Valley Pkwy, CA (#1734) Jeez, this NorCal crew are so complacent that we don’t take First or Meetup pictures any more! 🤷‍♂️

That is the Bay Area @bmah style we were used to!

Don’t forget Westconsin.

Congrats on 2000!!

Check-ins for 2023-12-16 - Livermore - Jack London Blvd, CA (#1730) (First to check-in) @GHammer what did you think of the Sphere? Were the acoustics really higher quality than other venues? I‘m sure U2 rocked the place.

1 Rocket Road A proud First for me! May 1st 2013. Of course it wasn’t a V3 back then 😉 The big mystery is why I didn‘t bother to go down to the first Gilroy, CA in December 2012 after we got NKYTA. Who knew this was the start of this crazy game. @ChadS has some catching up to do, but he/they...

It is a pretty reliable free app.

Oh, pro tip for Windy.com! Lightning! It crackles audio style to let you know to find cover,

Yep, I use it all the time in the browser, in car. One I like to preview wind speed on my route. But mostly in general I use it to track weather / precipitation in the southeast and northeast. I use it in the West, but that is usually non-events. Wind coming from the west.

Pared down the image size.

Windy shows some wild stuff of late. Too big to past image. But look at windy.com Kinda scary.

Check-ins for 2023-11-18 - Pleasanton, CA (#1729) (First to check-in) @bmah you made the right call going over early. 2+ hours for 70 mile roundtrip this aft from Redwood Shores. Saturday mall traffic I guess. Plus rain.

Do we all have to buy new cars to love V4s?z Asking for a friend. 😉 Kudos.

Target rich. Enjoy!

Quick up and back to Reno for some that have been lingering for a while. Roads still clear but wasn’t about to challenge Bishop SC on all seasons. Check-ins for 2023-11-11 - Napa - Bel Aire Plaza, CA (#1723) - Roseville - Douglas Blvd, CA (#1724) - Roseville - Freedom Way, CA (#1725) - Reno -...

Congrats on 500!!

Precisely why I figured it wasn’t worth it on my Saturday recuperate-from-previous-work-week day. Nav said 41 minutes to there for 33 miles - likely would have been an hour. Return would have been 34 miles that would have taken at least 1.5 hours, and that was leaving around 1:30pm. Had dinner...

Congrats on sixth!!

Great meetup!! Check-ins for 2023-10-20 - Burlingame, CA (#1720) (First to check-in) - Fremont - Civic Center Dr, CA (#1721) (First to check-in) - Newark - Gateway Blvd, CA (#1722) Those are in reverse order. Too much gabbing at the first two - manual checkins.

Texas is the toughest. Kudos! Pales in comparison to FL.

Plenty to be had in Chitown with a return through IL and back thru CO on the way home. Score what you can. Best.

@Big Earl impressive for your neck + Montana, Plains and most of the Dakotas!! Say heh to WI for me, been awhile since I’ve been home. Targeted tips leave unwanted Colby’s.

For as much time you spent in CA, my wife and I were wondering why you weren’t a completist in the state. I totally can see leaving the Hwy 1‘s behind. That is a slow and painful route with single lane road closures this time of year, so good call there if you are on a clock. We hope your safe...

The original V1 next to the hotel. Right by the hotel and a nice meandering creek. Depending on cloud cover you may see the mountain.

Does the adjacent Pot store make the view better? 😉

A mere 64 for the day? 😵‍💫 Congrats on another belt buckle!!

Indeed! On track to cement daily totals again today, already in NV. @israndy and @bmah were chatting with him in the shade while my wife got Cameron Park and a shared first, again, back at at El Dorado. I’ve been holding off on LA to trying and catchup to @Thinkje for quite a while. I’ll...

Check-ins for 2023-10-08 - Walnut Creek - Oak Grove Rd, CA (#1717) - Vacaville - Harbison Dr, CA (#1718) - El Dorado Hills, CA (#1719) (First to check-in) I got the short end of the stick today, but was well worth it for the meetup. A little one-car two competitor strategy was also fun -...

Smart an quirky guy.

That is a truly awesome haul!! Welcome to the West Coast. 🤗 It might be hard to beat 69 in NorCal, the distance between SCs aren’t quite as short.

Congrats on half a thousand!! Curious why you didn’t nab the other three in my hometown of Madison. I know the Beltline can be a bitch, but at 200k population traffic isn’t really that bad. 😉 Plenty of fun for you in Chi-Town, but it looks like you are on a mission.

Check-ins for 2023-09-16 - San Mateo - 2940 S Norfolk St, CA (#1713) - King City, CA (#1714) (First to check-in) - San Ardo, CA (#1715) - San Mateo - De Anza Blvd, CA (#1716) De Anza was actually second. Must have forgot to hit Submit. Thanks @israndy !

😉

I may try and head down to King City, CA early tomorrow. Provided Bruce and Randy aren’t headed there right now. 🙅🏼

Had I had the time to say, go clear FL again, we might have crossed paths again in Tennessee, which would have been cool. I met up with a Ranger shortly after getting back into the US at some SC I needed. Not a rocker arm issue, just some denting of the leading edge right behind the passenger...
