75 things to do before you die – 7 – Drive a sports car down Highway 1

7. Drive a sports car down Highway 1

Highway 1

A few years ago, me and a few buddies went out to California.  His parents were living in San Fransisco, so we jacked their BMW X5 and drove down the coast to Los Angeles.  This was one of the most beautiful trips I’ve honestly ever taken.  There was just one problem. We went out the night before and got absolutely smashed.  The ups, downs, and constant curves made the majority of the trip very unpleasant.  In fact, I believe more than one person in our car had to stop so they could throw up. 

I would love to do this trip again, this time without a hang over.. and possibly a beautiful girl.  The most important thing would be a nice sports car that could hug the turns and hills.  I think it would be an absolutely amazing experience to do this at least one more time in my life.  I think everyone should try it at least once. 

Hopefully, one day before I get too much older, I will grace the pacific ocean with some high-speed travels down California Highway 1.
