Well, we drove there in a Honda Civic and the food was nothing to write home about. They know all the customers are just driving through and don't live in the area so they could get away with lipstick on dirty glasses and what not.

That is an awesome flight. I did it a couple times back in the day, once in my instrument instructor's vintage Cessna 310.

Lipstick on glasses is everywhere. I just hold the glass up to the waiter and make them shit bricks about it.

To be fair to all the other restaurants out there about the blanket statement about it being everywhere, I have never had it happened anywhere else. Never seen it.

Really? I had it happen in a motel last week and a restaurant as well.

I used to "cummute" the 5 from LA to the 152 exit over to 101 every week for over a year.

Harris Ranch is ok, never seen lipstick on anything, then again I sit in the bar (at least in the evenings), Pat the bartender is a good guy and provides good service. The food is a bit high priced considering what you get but it's better than most choices on the road.

Just north of the restaurant/hotel is the feedlot that everyone complains about smell wise.

Another stinky spot is what I believe to be some dairy farms south of button willow before the 5 and 99 merge. To this day when I make the trip we use the "stinky cow spots" as a way for my wife to know where I am on the road.

As to the 99, I've done it a couple of times, on average it's slower, just as hot and has a few stinky places as well.

I'm now debating driving or flying for Labor Day weekend.

Would be going down on Saturday and back on Monday...

I'd take a train.

If there was a bullet train, I'd take that in a heartbeat. SF to LA in less than 3 hours.

Unfortunately there's Amtrak, a 12h train ride vs. a 6.5 hour drive.

For a weekend, I'd fly. Spending that much time in the car just for one day doesn't cut it in my world.

True, but I've done long drives for a day and a bit before...

In terms of total travel time where you cannot be with your family, you're going to be out about the same amount of time as you would if you were driving.

5 hours from San Jose to LA, driving. Think getting to SJC 1.5 hours before a 1:30 flight - leave your house at noon. That's 2.5 hours from leaving your house to landing in LA. Then you have to rent a car and fare traffic from some of the worst traffic areas (BUR, LAX) to wherever you're going - figure at least 90 minutes for that. There's 4 hours right there....

While traffic might have slowed down a bit because of the economy, the drive will be more than 6.5 hours and you'll be dodging slow idiots the whole way down.

I'd fly if I didn't need a car when I got there.
