Can someone suggest a good drive for X-mas? I'm up near Vallejo but don't mind Cruising the highway to get to an awesome road. A co-worker wants to go for a ride

I have all day so any suggestions?

Edit: Extra points if there is E85 on the way or nearby, and maybe the destination can be a beer (not me obvi) and food.

I know it's not christmas anymore, but I've heard that HWY 1 is nice. Can anyone confirm? I'm looking for nice roads near Napa.

Highway 1is very nice but can get crowded quickly. I recommend driving early if you don't want to get stick behind a suv.

awesome video! I meant to do a compilation for 2014 as well but never got the time to do it... for me the hardest part is cutting it down to a short clip so it's not a bloated 36-minute epic feature.

man now I want to go for a drive again. ok who's up for a tour of the East Bay hills tomorrow...
