Fav drive is Hwy 1 from Carmel to Cambria is best by far. Long drive but passes the following: Monterey, 17 mile road, Pebble Beach Golf, Lone Cypress, Sign saying "windy roads next 74 miles", Bixby bridge, Big Sur, Julia Pheiffer park and waterfall into ocean, Sea Lion beach, Hearst castle, Wineries.

It's windy roads of the first class the whole way. I'm doing it all the way to Santa Barbara in Nov with my wife.

Local fun hour to 4 hour drives include Calavares, Skyline, Hwy 1 from SF to Half moon Bay, Mt Hamilton to Livermore. Mt Diablo.

Welcome

Chuck at Menlo Honda is a great guy. I dealt with him when he was at Los Gatos Honda. The only problem I have with Menlo is that they don't (or didn't) have loaner cars and their shuttle doesn't go far enough for me. Like I said, there are so many Honda dealers around here that you can try a different one for each service until you find one you like.

Los Gatos Honda is a bit more pricey, but they know what they're doing. They saved my S from the scrapyard during my engine debacle. I recommend avoiding Steven's Creek Honda, but perhaps they've improved now that the S is a bit more mainstream.
