Yeah, I'm a motorhead, too, but they're usually all rice-rockets: A Civic by any other name is still a Civic, even though it can do a 11-second quarter.... :hehe:

I'd probably leave early in the morning (12 midnite, or 1am) to beat the morning rush. :D

yea, that is good, only thing is that late night, depending on the season, gotta be wary of the fog, especially around hwy 152 Los Banos heading out to the 5fwy. Otherwise maybe along the 5fwy later on too. Besides that, your drive should be smooth. The best time i did was 5 hr and 45 min the drive from OC to San Jose, about 400 miles. usually takes me closer to 7 hr coming back, thanks to the LA traffic. I like to leave mid morning and arrive afternoon on weekend, maybe earlier if on a weekday. :bonk:

I think this year's parade will be remembered for the KAT-TUN mob. It was a very dangerous situation and their car didn't even complete the parade route. :shakehead:

It was funny though! I was shoved by some old ladies and other girls in the parade. Could never compete with the tougher fans. :beatyou:
