a vehicle that handles well and especially rides well. Especially since we have probably the WORST inner city roads in the nation as well as the WORST agressive drivers! I DO appreciate a well made solid smallish vehicle that can handle the daily commute in So. Calif....
Follow Ups:
I'll see your So Cal roads/drivers and raise you 880 in Oakland for both. I lived in LA and never moved fast enough to worry about bad drivers, just gunshots. Oakland this past Saturday, oh my God, 2 overturn accidents on the way, both cars, SUV's I get, but how do you flip a car? I'll take the 405 and the 10 any day, not that I want to go back.
What is the deal with those people?! Yikes!And, just as a public service message, you don't want to get lost in certain parts of Oakland. Trust me on this - I know what I'm talking about. Fortunately, I came across several police vehicles finishing up an "incident", and they got me back on track.
And, is any one planning another bridge to SF? Holy crap! I was going from Beserkeley down to McCune Sound (South SF), and it took an hour to go over the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. That's just nuts.

Yeah, I know, I was in one of them Saturday. I made the mistake of following my car's navigation system to get back to 880 going home. It was, interesting. And one thing about nav systems, at least mine anyway, it doesn't recognize that two left turn lanes might not be taking you to the same place. I didn't want to go into the tube no thank you very much navigation lady!

Yeah, I make fun of the name, but it's so fitting. :) Actually, I do like visiting there. There are areas, both commercial and residential, which are like stepping back into the 60s or 70s. There's a shop on Shattuck Ave. called... wait for it... "Om". And just up at the corner, there's a guy with a little stand selling... again, wait for it... tie-dyed t-shirts - that HE makes! He's been doing it so long that he's even made t-shirts for The Grateful Dead. I've patronized both businesses. And over on Telegraph Ave., there's the iconic Amoeba Music, where I've also shopped.
I seriously gotta get there again soon, but my buddy John Curl (the guy who designs amplification circuitry products) says they're starting to do C-19 restrictions again, so restaurant opportunities may soon be limited, so I guess we'll just have to see how things unfold over the next month or so.

used to refer to as "Zen-Buddha-Buddha" shops. I know Peet's coffee is from that area and there are one or two handmade soap places that I purchased online from whose products I like. I'm sure there are more... I LOVE Peet's and have always wanted to make it over there but time has never permitted when I have been up there. I wonder if the Amoeba is the same as the one in L.A.? Probably.....
Back in the day my favorite Berkeley record store was Rather Ripped Records. Really. It was a different time, just after Peoples Park.
KSAN on the radio, community gardens all over town, neighborhood food coops. Make all the fun you want, but it was a golden age...
Don't forget Fantasy Studios. Studio C was famous for being Creedence Clearwater Revival's studio. It was sold to someone and is a separate business. Fantasy closed about three years ago. I wonder if someone has revived it.

I could care less... Just so you know, I HATE the Grateful Dead too. BTW, I see that you're from Oregoon...LOL! THAT tells me ALL I need to know.....
