Santa Cruz was the beach I used to go to when I still lived in Cali, and I remember the Santa Cruz cruise fondly. The drive there and back was always an awesome trip. It's one of the things I miss the most; Texas just doesn't have any roads that compare to the twists & turns of the Sierra Nevadas or San Andreas mountains. I'm really looking forward to taking my 2000 coupe to Arizona in a few weeks so I can finally hit some real mountain roads in it.
