Default Night driving

When I get stressed out I like to drive in the canyons or just drive down PCH, but I came across this website by VW:

http://www.night-driving.com/

Pretty interesting, it lists great night drives. The intro commercial was mostly filmed in LA seems like. Just wondering if there are any other night drivers out there!

I'm top down almost exlusively night only. There's no sun beating down, no need to wear sunglasses and overall it's just a more pleasant experience, IMO.

My relaxing night drive is usually Topanga Canyon Rd. from Ventura down to PCH and back (I live down the street in Woodland Hills on Ventura).

I usually take a cruse on Angeles Forest Hwy starting from LA ending at Palmdale. Did it 5 times last week! Stopping half way marking my territory

Same here, on the rare occasion I take the top down, it's usually at night. And when I do, I always make it a point to look up!

A great place is downtown LA, at night, it's so empty, and for the most part it seems completely intact from how it was built a long time ago. It reminds me of what NY would look like back in the 50s-70s when it was still gritty (Warriors style).

Are these the nights where you and Woong drive around holding each others' hands?

Not when you are following someone, I hope!

I'm all about the night driving, top down. There's so many amazing roads to choose from down in OC.
