It just so happens that this is my daily commute. It is outrageously fun, but intense (And they wonder how we mellow Santa Cruz types manage to get ourselves pumped up for the high pressure environment of Silicon Valley :-) ). A word of warning though. Don't get too wild on highway 17 unless you know it well. If I had a dime for every brand new Porsche or BMW wrecked on that road by drivers that didn't know it well enough, I would quit my job and hang out at the beach everyday. -- John A.
