San Diego!!!!
Today was the second annual NSX Tax Relief Drive, set up by ss_md, with assistance from tbNSX and ANYTIME. Originally scheduled for last week (April 15th), it was unfortunately cancelled due to rather rainy SoCal weather. Resceduled to this week, the area once again experienced rather dreary weather at its starting point in Temecula. Hoping that the weather would hold up, we ventured off for a 200+ mile drive through San Diego and Riverside Counties.

One thing that I've learned to appreciate about SoCal is its diverse climate zones. In a span of minutes, we would travel through picturesque meadows that took us into fog enshrouded, woodsy mountain highways. Only an hour later, we would drop into desert sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. After that, we headed back into the mountains, peaking at over 6,000 feet, where we stopped for a much desired lunch at a quaint Chinese restaurant. :D After that, we traversed a few more twisties, just in time to return to urban sprawl. :D

All in all, I had a great time. Once again, I would like to thank all those involved with today's drive, as well as say "Hi" again to those familiar faces as well as the new faces that I saw today. Thanks for letting me part of a wonderful drive.

More pics can be found HERE.

great pictures! Hey my parents have a place in Temecula. I don't recognize that first spot...Where is that at?

Do you happen to have a picture of a silverstone with the Wing West body kit? I remember seeing someone from Southern CA with one....

This one is HOT and SEXY. Makes me wanna get a kit now. Wait a minute..that's your car Fury :) I used to hate 5 stars spoke rims, but your rim is damn sexy on that black car.

We stop at Idyllwild to figure how hungry we are. ANYTIME flexes his guns.

Once again, MORE PICS.
 
Awesome pics!

Proof that you don't need any of those stinkin’ red NSXs to have a good time! What did you do with all the red NSXs, anyway? :eek:
 
Re: Awesome pics!

I wish it was last week, since I was there, maybe next time. ANYTIME, Canyon Drive coming soon???
 
225 miles on 8.9 gallons=25.28 MPG! :smile: Not bad when my foot was too the floor most of the time. Thanks again to Scott and Chris for putting this together. Gil and Donna

Thanks! :D

We met near Pechanga.

As for a Silverstone with WW kit, this is the only thing I could find. Is this the car you were talking about? (It was taken during last year's Prime Canyon Drive.)

 
Oh yeah..Pechanga Casino. I haven't lost at that place (knock on wood). hehehe.

Ahhh..that's the silver one. Thanks a bunch.

great pictures, thanks for sharing.
one thing i noticed, this is the first time, i don't see a "red" nsx in a group meet :-).

My thoughts exactly!!! What are the odds of that!! Were red NSXs not allowed to participate?
 
Awesome pictures Randy. Looks like you guys had so much fun!!:frown: ...Hope to join you next time..:smile:
 
lights

Is it just me:eek: , or does that black NSX up there in the upper left corner poking out from the rest have "circular" brake lights...THATS HOT!!!

Who's car is that, AND ARE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT on his/hers???

?Conspiracy?...(thats the x files music cue to come on)

Umm, it's probably just you. :D

Really though, I believe it's tbNSX's car, and he has normal taillights. It probably just looks oval because the car is out of focus.

I thought taking pictures while driving was a good idea. This canyon actually looked better than the pic.

Thats funny I noticed tht too. All the meets I go to are mostly red with some blacks, silvers and blues. Not that I care I have a red NSX, just impressed that you could get that many NSXs and not one red one. At the Central FL luncheon in December, about 40+ NSXs, mostly red...I joked that it would be funny to announce over the PA. "That there is a red NSX being towed out of the parking lot" :biggrin:
