Go up the 101, it is a nicer drive and many '02ers sprinkled along the way. I am in SB, Gordon in Santa Maria, Rob Torres shop in SLO, Vroomer in Paso Robles, Dubois in Hollister, and the rest of those guys in San Jose and north. E-mail for phone numbers, pack tools and enjoy the trip. Made the trip from SB to Palo Alto the last couple of years, as well as a few trips up to SLO. No problems, even with the car running lousy. The big hill outside San Luis Obispo the only time the car gets stressed, otherwise you can travel at your own pace.
