Hi Everyone,

Here are some pics of my Bay Area road trip in chronological order as promised, enjoy!

Snowing on #5 Coquihalla hwy in BC on the way down, quattro rocks, even with summer tires!

Some pics on the famous Skyline Blvd (#35). Smooth asphalt, winding up and down roads, some of the best driving I've ever done!!

Apparently this guy has 2 RS4's, he was somehow able to get them registered, thru connections with the DOT or something, so he has the only 2 street-legal RS4 in North America.

Attended a local GTG at Berkeley Marina, just a few quick pics here:

Very cool to see an enthusiastic RS6 owner!

Met up with a local with his Stage2 S4 with FMIC, definitely the fastest car I've been in!

Of course how can I not have any pics of the Golden Gate Bridge?

The blue painter's tape is for keeping rock chips and bugs off the car, not to be a "nagaro wannabe" ;-) It worked quite well, and got a lot of stares from people!

At some crazy bridge between Oregon and Washington.

This trip was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done, still can't believe I actually did this all by myself!
