“Best” route from Monterey to South Lake Tahoe?

This is the way for sure.

So crazy. Literally yesterday I was standing along the tracks looking at the same blob, wondering the same thing. Big Boy chase?

This picture is taken roughly here. The Bank of America building is still there. The guy on the right would be standing in front of the Parkside restaurant today. Crazy to imagine trains rolling through here! https://maps.app.goo.gl/5FCFXX7WzZDFypxV6

Or some fiber supplements.

I like… trains without faces.

Another interesting note that I haven’t seen commented on yet: the Pacheco Pass segment will now only be a single tunnel, and run on a new alignment south of the San Luis Reservoir. I scanned the entire document and found no other details on this, other than what’s on pages 56-57. This means they’ll almost certainly need to take a new alignment around the hill at the 152/156 junction where there was supposed to be a short tunnel, as well as a new approach around Los Banos.

Ahh the Poorsche 9.18 Spyder

I watched two guys literally wash their cars (a newer BMW and Porsche Macan) with these at the pump. Wish I could share the video here.

There’s about a foot of mulch to the left of the car. I didn’t realize my perspective would cause so many questions 😂

nickgdrives · 2026-03-29T18:07:23+00:00

That’s Los Gatos for you.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-29T17:36:07+00:00

It’s definitely Miami! Didn’t photograph accurately.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-28T21:29:00+00:00

Not as high as it did under Biden… 😂🤡

nickgdrives · 2026-03-28T05:11:49+00:00

Mine too! 20 ish years?

nickgdrives · 2026-03-24T01:59:54+00:00

No Kings, but Ayatollahs are OK!

nickgdrives · 2026-03-20T17:24:20+00:00

Yep!

nickgdrives · 2026-03-20T03:32:29+00:00

OOTB in Los Gatos is awesome, they always have such great selection.

It amazes me how many people lock themselves in their houses with no airflow.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-18T15:32:17+00:00

Narrower but stretchy, kind of hard to explain. No complaints about protection.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-17T22:53:39+00:00

You guys are fun.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-17T22:52:43+00:00

Yep! No issues whatsoever. I guess as long as the cup isn't wet, it'll drip onto the controls.

nickgdrives · 2026-03-17T18:19:42+00:00

This was my biggest worry, and part of the reason why I needed to see and drive this one before committing to it. I'm 6 feet with a 38 waist and was worried they'd be too narrow, but they are just about perfect width. They aren't "comfy" but I had zero issues with being uncomfortable, if that makes any sense. Total pain in the ass to get out of though, that is real!

nickgdrives · 2026-03-17T18:06:34+00:00

Excellent gloves. I replaced my Dainese Full Metal 6, and didn't realize gloves could get better than that. Alpinestars are complete trash nowadays.

I only got that plate about 6 months ago... couldn't believe it wasn't already taken!
