Great looking car. I know the road well! I have the twin to your C5 in Oceanside. I have the same stretch bra but not sure how it fits. Like to meet up and talk cars sometime.

Nice pics. Haven't driven De Luz in a long time. Think I'll run it this afternoon.

I love that road! I live just north of Murrieta/Temecula so it is my "go to"
if I want to go for a quick blast.

Not only is it a great road with beautiful scenery but hardly any traffic, especially during the week.

Just have to be careful in winter/spring as the creeks flow across the road in spots.

Mistakenly discovered that road yesterday. I live in Murrieta and needed to clear my mind. Cool little road, would love to meet up with some people and go for a cruise! Haven't been up Palomar in over a year.

Check this out...maybe you want to ride out with me, since I'm putting it on along with Pat since 2005. And we're ending up near where we live.

nice post.

I was wondering about why I had never even heard of De Luz until I saw the San Diego sign

America's finest city strikes again.

Yeah - that's why I really only like going down there at the crack of dawn.

I was up there last weekend. Beautiful drive with some very nice homes tucked away, but not a speed road. More of a mellow cruise drive. If you miss the turnoff for De Luz Murrieta Dr. the road turns to sandy dirt.
