and you live in San Mateo? How is that commute? I'm in Palo Alto and it's not too bad but the traffic seems to jam up right around the Embarcadero/University exits. I get off the 101 at shoreline and take side roads to avoid the highway most of the way.

I can do that I guess. I work on Alder and Tasman so I'd prefer meeting at Milpitas Square which is Barber and Bellew. They have some nice cars in that plaza and I know there's a yellow F430 Spyder.

Maui Wowie coffee works perfect for me!

I just realized traffic is going to be a bitch on 880. Anyone have any back road ideas?

Nope, we're basically screwed and will have to slog through 880.

Can someone give a link on google maps to the final meeting point? I have no idea where we're heading other than it's in Union City.

Ever, I work off of the Pruneyard in Hamilton. you can take 880 up to 101 north, exit montague and hang a left on first to get to the hawaiian coffee shop.

crap forgot about the metering lights. unavoidable that far up on 880. ideally the two lead cars were supposed to straggle on the slower lanes letting everyone catchup. 880s just crap

I assumed there were cameras on the back of the lights, just like there are cameras everywhere here! MN doesnt have the cams yet. But yeah, the car pool lane would definetly work next week
