thats why i said to drive to the top if washington, cuz then you get to drive down the whole cali coast, beautiful.

i havn't driven to cali...but i imagine that it will be a killer, as i drove from TORonto to ATlanta and back a few times..
for me, well i hated long distance driving and HWY driving for a long time after that ..hahaha..
you should have a buddy w/ you or two, cuz you wouldnt wanna drive the whole way down...(never ending road)..

I went to Cali to buy a poor man's Porsche 914. I flew down and drove the sucker back. Would I do it again. YES, one of the best damn road trips I've ever been on. Beautiful scenery. Have fun and bring a digi cam to remember the good times!

awesome!!! taking a ride out to Cali. Wanna check up on my place there??? lol....last year in June, it took me about 34 hours non-stop to get to L.A. So, ya have a lot of snacks, coffee, money for tolls, radar detector, and remember to stay away from *** territories...just fuel up before you enter the state and just drive right through...lol. Good Luck man. Have fun.

Definetly head to BC, then drive down along the coast. I've done the trip to BC six times and down the coast twice. (Used to live in Victoria)
Either way, you're going to have a boring 24-36 hours through the plains(US) / prairies(CAN).
Driving down through the the Pacific Northwest is a beautiful drive. Alot more so than through the Midwest.
Just watch your driving, Evrybody is a suspected cop in the States now. I watched a news piece that had cops posing as broken down drivers, telephone repair men, Homeless persons, etc.....all with a radar gun. little phukers..........:fustrated
Have a safe trip man................
