Hilarious! They don't even have normal cloverleaf intersections here. Instead of exiting to the right through a long sweeping curve onto a highway, they exit to the left, down a long straight-away onto the highway. Aaargh!!
It's as if somebody who hates people who enjoy driving designed it for the absolute minimum fun potential :-)
Several years ago, about 13 of us got together to drive the Tail of the Dragon (US 129, TN-NC, 318 curves in 11 miles) and had an absolute blast! We did have one guy from Florida join us and he had an awesome time (as you would expect). But he bought a shirt that said, "Drive Florida, 11 curves in 318 miles!" It was great.
You too live in a phenomenal area for great roads. I take a 2 week motorcycle trip every year from Houston to either the Rockies or the Smokies and have ridden most of the great roads of eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, and northern Georgia and also the entire Blue Ridge Parkway--I get very depressed when I have to come back to the flat coastal plains of southeast Texas!

Thanks, I seem to always go for silver and blue cars. Chalk was a stretch for me... I kept changing back to GT silver... I'm so happy I went with Chalk! It has a very light grey putty tint to it that I adore. It is definitely a chameleon color. Depending on the light it can look more white and on a cloudy day it picks up that very light putty hue... I wash it once a week and the color never seems to look dirty. Very easy to care for.
As far as the sport-tex interior, they are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. Thanks to Nick Murray I went with sport-tex interior on my 991.2 and now I'll never go back to all leather seats. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They always look new and never any sagging! I hope that helps a bit. Feel free to ask away 😊
Can you take a few closer pics of the seat front and rear and dash? Any wear or fraying with those seats? Dirt capture? Really like them and think they blend well with the exterior and stitching but finding a car with them as you can imagine to view at a dealership is next to imposible. Appreciate it.

Here is a photo taken on Angeles Crest Highway, the best driving road in Southern California in my opinion.
Have you tried the Pines to Palms hIghway (CA74) from Palm Desert to Taylor CA? That's a pretty good one too. Actually is a nice drive all the way through Temecula on the way to San Diego.
