Now you've got me thinking of driving down there...it would be a cool trip to drive all the way down the coast then back along 99...would probably take 8-10 days but much better than the boring I-5 drive.
I bought my convertible in L.A. a couple years ago and drove it home with no major issues...it would be fun to drive it back down and cruise it around in it's former home...it was bought new at Crenshaw Dodge but I've heard the neighborhood has gone downhill a bit since then so maybe I'll skip that part of the tour...
