I would be down to make the run, especially hwy 9, but the S is out of commission. I'm waiting on a new transmission.

My buddy alexey is always down to coordinate or participate in these types of photoshoots. Check out his work here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/909...onda-by-night/


As for the drive, I'm usually down. Last time on Mt. Hamilton/Mines I got yelled at by the you-know-who, I like the Santa Cruz Mountains more. Let us know what you come up with!

Count me in.. I'd rather drive around than shop.. I don't need anything this year anyways. The roads would probably been clear of cars due to people shopping.

I can confirm the roads are not clear of debris and moisture. It's going to be a wet one, even if the sun is shining. The roads are super damp in the hills right now. The fog is hitting hard at night.

I drove Hwy 9 Wednesday afternoon and it was pretty slick in places. Today was a little better, but still a fair number of wet spots in the shady places.

Eventhough I sold the S2000, I'm still up for the drive, weather pending of course.
