I recently went home to sunny Southern California. Actually, it wasn't all that sunny, it rained a fair amount. However, as you'll be able to see, in So-Cal, even when it's raining, the sun still comes out intermittently.

Here are some pics, in no particular order. Some actually relate to the Z, most do not.


I live in PV, nicely situated pretty near the ocean. This pic is from the view point on Hawthorne and is looking south.

 

Nearby is Torrance, which is the home of Del Amo, once the largest mall in America. It's long been surpassed, but it's still a nice place to do some shopping.

What's more patriotic than malls and Corvette's?

 

Oh, I almost forgot, for the fellow plane guys out there, here's a shot of a An-124 I saw at Bradley International airport, located in Hartford, CT.

What the heck is an Antonov doing in Hartford?

Look at how many wheels the monster has.

 

There are LOTS of nice cars in LA. I only saw one Z in almost a week of driving around LA. I was pretty surprised.

Here's a nice Carrera 4S. Nice pipes, they're not stock are they?

 

Bond, James Bond.

Taken on PV Drive North, heading towards Redondo Beach. This is a very pretty road if you haven't driven it.

 

I was pretty lucky to get this pic. My digital camera has that typical delay between pushing the shutter release and actually taking the picture. The timing was perfect.

Obviously, a Ferrari in front, a Rolls behind it, a nice house behind that.

This is Paseo Del Mar, an EXCELLENT street in Palos Verdes Estates. There's an awesome stretch of homes, each one better than the next, facing a cliff overlooking the Pacific. I think the people on the street all got a case of "keep up with the Jones" or maybe just outdo them because the homes are all pretty amazing.

 

You gotta love the beaches in LA. My personal favorite is Hermosa, mainly because it's typically packed with people. Like I mentioned earlier, it rained a lot while I was home and it was pretty cold (for CA), around 50-60, so there weren't many people on the beach.

This is from the Hermosa Pier.

 

Here's Christmas in Hermosa.

Nice place at night, very busy.

 

Finally, something Z related. Because of the weather, there are plenty of older cars, many in very good condition. I came about this one during my travels. You may recognize it.

 

Scafremon's old stomping grounds.

Now, imagine taking this pic while driving 80mph down the 110, with your mom in the passenger seat wondering what they hell you're doing and telling you to keep both hands on the wheel.

 

A last shot of PV.

 

Nice pics.....thanks for sharing them with us!!!!!!

 

Actually, that is Porsche optional equipment. They're just different finishers, not a wholly new system. Don't you wish Nissan did that for us?

 

For comparison's sake, sunny New Jersey!



Ambient temperature: 25 degrees Fahrenheit!!

 

im from PV, nice shots.. you shoulda taken some shots of your Z by the Ocean Trails golf course (Donald Trump is trying to buy it).. the Z fits right in among all the porsches,bmws, and benz's up there.. except the Z is cheap in comparison..

 

LBC TRD - unfortunately, my Z, and myself, are currently in Connecticut, where there's even more snow than in the above NJ pic.

Yes, Ocean Trails is a pretty nice place. I have a few pics from there of a storm rolling in on the ocean. There are a bunch of nice cars there.

 

Andrew,

I would've given you a discount on Scafremon's 350Z Airport Shuttle Service if I had known you would've been in town.

 

the most exotic car ive seen in alabama is prolly a umm... 911 turbo parked at a benz dealer

Where in Alabama do you live? I'm in B'ham and have a Z and theres tons of cash here! Great cars are everywhere! Get back to me. Is that your SuperBlack?
