    For the summer solstice I took a day road trip over the Sierras in my ct200h (what an amazing car), down CA 108 to Sonora and then through Angels Camp (what a nice name for a town) and back up on CA 4. Highway 4 has a 5 mile section that's narrow steep and winding with no center stripe, and steep drop offs with no guard rail. It has a sign that says "no vehicles over 28 ft long" It's amazing how many drivers can't get close to the edge, so they hang over the center when you pass them.

    Gas in Carson NV $4.46 a gallon regular. It's .50 cents higher in Reno because of taxes. NV gets it's fuel from CA so it's surprising that it's actually cheaper than in CA. Must be even more taxes there. Made the whole trip for $35.
