✔️European Reacts to Brit's First Road trip in America
Thank you so much for loving America so much.
My pleasure. ❤️
There are beautiful beaches all along the Eastern and Western Coastlines of the US! I live in Massachusetts and the beaches of CAPE COD are beautiful but it's the Atlantic Ocean here on the Eastern Coastline vs the Pacific Ocean on the Western Coastline!
The best beaches are in Michigan, the home of most pleasure boats in the United States.
As a European my opinion is that all European cars are boring junk. I have never owned anything else than American cars and I never will.
Where did you get the impression that a Muffstain uses a lot of gas? European propaganda? Even as a Mustang hater I have to say that they are very economical.
The truth is, 90% of people don’t care that much about politics. Don’t let the talk on the internet or media make you think regular folks are that divided about liking states.
I’m from NYC, but I love Cali, Texas, and all the other states. They each add something unique to this great country.
I have family in California, it's beautiful there. I wouldn't live there, but love to visit (from Texas).
Exactly, every state has something to offer. I now live in SC and I enjoy the country and the cities.
amen
I've lived in 5 states, visited 32, and I agree. I may not prefer to live in certain states, but that doesn't mean they don't have beauty and their own special places to experience.
@@msp9810I live in Greer SC
The pacific coast highway is 2,655 kilometers long
@WoosterCogburnn, or 1649 miles.
Hawaiian beaches are beyond belief. But, Hwy 1 in Calif. is one of the prettiest and longest
This is why many American who in the interior states drive to the coasts for their vacation rather than taking an airline. Truck towing a travel trailer is the best way to see America. "Snow Birds" is what they call people who drive down to Florida for the winter.
My favorite beaches are North Carolina… there’s a chain of barrier islands and although it’s built up in a lot of places, it’s very much like being on another planet.
@masaniazura2131, don't those who go to AZ, TX and the Gulf Coast also qualify as snow birds? After all, they're all leaving to escape the snow, and general winter weather.
@jimgreen5788 Hmmmm! I don't know. I've only heard it referring to Florida destinations. But, I won't swear by it. I also related to the term when I first heard then saw the Snow Geese fying high over head in Florida. But, that is just my experience.
Air conditioned seats, on a hot summer's day, are THE. BEST.
Heated seats on a cold winter's day as well.😊
All of Florida agrees.
California beaches and Florida beaches are so different you can't call one state's beaches better. The Pacific Ocean in CA is always cold, and generally has bigger waves. In Florida the Atlantic and Gulf beaches have warm water 8 to 9 months a year, and smaller waves except when there is a storm nearby.
The Pacific Coast highway is remarkable. We drove it when I was 10 and I still remember it.
1986-1988 Clint Eastwood was mayor of Carmel, California.😊
One of the best road trips in the United States, PCH is stunning ❤
It’s a must if you have the time. It’s some of the most beautiful scenery in California.
Carmel, monterrey is a very beautiful area. If you like whale watching is one ofvthe best spots in the world
Brother, I live in Santa Monica CA. I have become a big fan of your channel. You and your family have a free place to stay here if you ever come to LA!
San Luis obispo here as well 🤙
Continue that roadtrip abd head up the coast of Oregon and wild Washington, too. The more north you get, the wilder the coast becomes. You start south on the glistening, flat beaches of San Diego and end up on the craggy, misty bluffs if the Olympic peninsula. Stunning
Yes!!! Personally the drive from Canon Beach to Seattle al9ng the coast is one of my favorite drives. I liked it ev3n better than big sur, although it is amazing too
So true. Oregon's a gem along the coast and also beautiful heading past Mt. Shasta to Sisters and Bend, Oregon on the eastern side.
@@ninaolson9974 I adore the geology surrounding Bend. Oregon is simply gorgeous
And don't forget Baja California, all the way down to La Paz, B.C. !
California is an absolute stunning state. I live in Michigan and we have plenty of coastline (Great Lakes)...but the California coast is on a completely different level. I visited California once in my lifetime so far and its a memory I will never forget. 🌞
Michigan is the greatest state in the Union!
That is probably one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on and experienced.
The Florida panhandle has some of the best beaches. It has beautiful white sand beaches and warm water. California’s beaches can be rocky and the water is colder.
This is true because it’s the Pacific vs the Atlantic Ocean. Some places have trawlers that go out and collect algae and trash to prevent them from going onto the beach so there are a lot of factors that account for a beach seeming to be “clean”.
The panhandle beaches are on the northern Gulf Coast. I live in Pensacola but SanDestin has the softest sand!
Best sand and prettiest water by far!
Florida has better beaches than California, but if you expand the scope of your question, get thee to Mexico.
The problem with the panhandle is you're on the gulf and The water is just not as nice as the Atlantic side... But your beaches are so much nicer and the sand is so much nicer
There's the 101 and then there's the 1 - and he's on the 1 which hugs the coast all the way up and down the coast. Sometimes the 1 turns into the 101 when the 101 also starts hugging the coast. A great trip to take. And you can't swim in that ocean - very very cold. SoCal you can but still not that warm.
Yes, the water comes down the coast from the Gulf of Alaska - its cold!
No "the"!!!
This is used by people from LA maze zone and other States, and is not normal speech for Central and Northern California.
Just 1 or 101, perhaps Highway 1 or 101 if talking to a visitor who does not know the numbering is highways and freeways.
Sadly, calling them by their original names or nicknames is gone, as are most of the signage.
Our elephant seals come there to give birth. That's why you see mostly females and the males are usually spotted in the shallows. They are on what we called the scenic route. 😊 I live in this area and it's just as beautiful as you see in this video...and whales come very close to our shores, beaches and piers.
Oregon coast, its easily accessible and beautiful.
Yes in certain areas, but not easily accessible for the most part in Oregon.
Road trips are the best way to see America. When you come here be sure to rent your dream car and get out and explore.
The pacific ocean is glorious.
Hawaii has the best beaches...but there is coastline in the entire east coast, the Gulf coast, the entire west coast and Alaska
Don't forget the great lakes. They have some really cool beaches and sand dunes
Michigan has roughly the same amount of coastline as Florida, lots of beaches
Many thanks for loving our beautiful country. Yes the seats cool and heat
As an American that usually sees nothing but negative opinions of America from people from other countries, it's refreshing to so your honest opinions on our country, even though it has flaws we adore it very much so. I lived in California for many years it's beautiful!
Actually, Sean shows us the famous bridges but doesn't show anything of Big Sur but the coastline. You can sit down in a chair that's in the river, put your feet up on the rocks. There are many state parks to go hiking, waterfalls, and Redwoods. There are beautiful beaches, some with garnet sand. It's a special place. Great for camping, if you can afford it and made reservations well in advance. As with his other Oregon/California videos, he drove too much and didn't stop enough. He did this too fast and missed a lot.
A friend and I drove up the California coast on a ten day trip. We flew to LA took a side trip to Catalina and shopped and visited museums. We drove to Santa Barbara and walked State Street and walked the beach and toured the famous mission. Our next stop was Monterrey. I loved the aquarium and the wharf. From Monterrey the drive to San Francisco was great. Sadly, I only had two days in San Francisco. Too bad Sean dodged Sonoma. 😮
I used to live over the mountain from there! That drive (PCH, aka Pacific Coast Highway 1) is absolutely gorgeous. Santa Cruz down to Big Sur was our usual drive whenever family/friends would come visit.
17 Mile Drive in Carmel is incredible.
Point Lobos just North of that spot is also amazing.
Monterey is a beautiful spot with one of the best Aquariums in the world.
Big Sur is beautiful; Pfeiffer State Park has an iconic waterfall right on the beach.
The bridge along the coast well known for Apple desktops is Bixby Bridge. As a matter of fact, most of the Apple desktops for both phone, tablet, and laptop/desktops are photos from either that area or Yosemite to the North East. California nature is perfection.
edit: yes, elephant seals stink BIG TIME.
All along the coast there are tremendous quantities of wildlife, from giant California Sea otters, to various types of seals & sea lions, and massive Great White Sharks, whales, and incredible octopus. The kelp forests are 30 meters tall, home to an abundance of sea life.
Seeing how our brothers and sisters from other countries are loving and enjoying America, makes me Proud and love America even more!!!!I thank you LORD!!!
My F150 has AC seats. Game changer!
Yep, my 2016 F150 has heated and cooling seats. Can't say that I could feel any difference, but the Steering Wheel warmer was awesome during the Winter time.
I think it is wonderful that you love America! There are many in this country that don’t or they take it for granted and don’t appreciate what they have!
I lived at the Presidio of Monterey while attending the Defense Language Institute almost 3 decades ago. That 17-mile drove between Monterey & Carmel certainly is breathtaking. I took my mother for a ride there, and she instantly absolutely fell in love with it. And as a side note, Monterey is only about an hour south from San Francisco & Silicon Valley.
Lots of Portuguese in California. My grandparents immigrated many years ago. When I visited Portugal, the weather was similar to my Northern California home. Thank you for your interest in our country and my state. You are right about the expense. Pray God for guidance and a lovely trip. You will have a good time. And don't compare your English to Sean. He's Scottish and sounds different than Americans. It's all good.
California's PCH is gorgeous, but the water is cold. If you want to swim or surf, you'll need a wet suit. Florida has so many beautiful beaches to choose from. If you want calmer waters, the gulf side is wonderful, where the waters are green and clear enough you'll see your toes when you're up to your shoulders in water. Of course, Florida also has sharks, so there's that. 😃
When I was nine my father loaded up the car and we drove from Las Vegas to Los Angeles then up the pacific coast highway to Washington state. Some of the most beautiful places and people we had been to.
The national parks in California are worth seeing (Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon). Also Redwood NP with the massive trees so there are ways to visit California without spending a ton of money. I'll be going to California for the first time in my life next week. So excited! And will be doing all of Route 66.
You might consider Lincoln Highway instead. So much cool history and everybody and his brother have not experienced it....
Have a fantastic trip! You will love it here!
PS - if going to Yosemite on a weekend day or holiday, you need to make an online res in advance. They just put this into place to control the number of cars coming into the park. Starting sometime in June through Labor Day a res is needed on any day of the week. Just check the website now so you won't be disappointed!
A convertible is great for about 43 minutes, and under 50 mph, then everyone is sick of the wind noise and direct sunlight.
That castle is the Hearst Castle at San Simeon, California, that was built in the 1920's or 30's by the old newspaper family "the Hearst Family" that was extremely influential in American politics & social life. They helped shape the fabric of American politics & culture in the 19th & 20th Centuries
Hearst was the inspiration for Charles Foster Kane of Citizen Kane.
Absolutely the reason we love to drive.
17 Mile Drive is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been to coming from a local, it also has some amazing golf courses (Monterey has I think around 5-10 golf courses that are T10, T20 in the U.S. one course being in the background at 6:04) with amazing views of the ocean that you were able to see. It is a remarkable experience driving 17 mile and Highway 1 in general.
California beaches are better looking, but florida has warmer water. Highway 1 tracks the ocean for the entire California coastline. California is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
I have a bridge to sell you, friend.
Well ALMOST the entire length- Lost Coast giant portion would like a word, there are some shorter mil base inland detours in upper SoCal, and I believe it goes inland around LA or something?
Yes, my car has AC in the seats and living in FL I love it
Lol. I live in Miami and never use ac,not even at home. I guess I'm old fashioned
If anyone is ever planning on driving the PCH/Hwy 1, especially prior to a big expenditure like a vacation, they should always check the road conditions beforehand and have a backup plan. It is frequently closed due to landslides, those mostly happen in winter-spring but it can take a long time to get the road back open. It has currently been closed near Big Sur for the last year and around 2 years ago it was shut down another year.
I have lived on and off my entire life in California by the coast, I have also summered in Portugal and your are right the west coast of California and Portugal are similar.
The hottest "mean temperature" is in death Valley California, the hottest recorded temperature was the "Satan's Storm" in Kopperl Texas in 1971 140⁰F/60⁰C
They believe the "Satan's Storm" event to have easily reached 160°F/71°C.
However confirming this number is difficult given the instruments they had locally maxed out at 140°F.
That's the trouble with heat bursts. There are rarely thermometers built for extreme temperatures on site.
Death Valley can reach over 130 degrees Fahrenheit. So, nothing to sneeze at.
Years ago when I traveled to Europe from the US, areas in Spain and France around the Mediterranean reminded me a lot of Northern California. I didn't get a chance to go to Portugal but I imagine it is similar too.
I just got back from a road trip in Spain and I agree, a lot of the countryside reminded me of California. Other parts were uniquely Spain.
In Florida, you have to drive from Miami to Key West. It’s a gorgeous drive.
Indeed, not on a weekend. All miami is on its way on the weekend. Lol
NOAA's official value for the total length of the U.S. shoreline is 153,646 kilometers (95,471 miles).
Highway 1 is both gorgeous and absolutely terrifying!
Born in E. Los Angeles and the family moved 90 miles up the coast to Santa Barbara in 1961. The 30's vintage 2-story house they bought in 61 cost $21,000.00 . . . . today that same 100 yr old house is listed at $2,000,000.00. This is because Santa Barbara stopped giving out Water permits in 1971, (southern California has limited water resources), meaning housing development was halted and existing homes just skyrocketed in price.
That and the city council has mandated that all Powerlines & Cable/Internet wiring be placed below ground. There are no "Telephone Poles" to be seen in that town. There are no flashing or lighted signs allowed outside of a business, no billboard advertisements and no sign higher than a roofline. SB and the Montecito area have become magnets for the Rich. There is no shortage of Mansions in the area, and the scenery is World Class w/ their Beaches & Spanish style homes. You'll know this because your pocketbook will tell you. 😉
California beach has COLD water. Florida beach as WARM water. If you want to swim, that makes a difference. If you want to enjoy the scenery, then both are great.
Save your trip to California for later when you can have more savings and your kid is older. The thing is, California will still be here for you whenever. But it would be a better chance for your and your family to make more lasting memories and your kid will be able to remember them. Plus, the joy he will have if you decide to go to Disneyland.
Air conditioned seats are definitely real and they are wonderful! They aren't in all cars or maybe even most cars but they are a thing.
Its funny because he doesn't lock the gas nozzel while filling it because he doesn't realize he can .
He may just not choose to. I'm American and I don't lock it, however I do drive a Miata with a tiny tank and am not trying to pump 40 gallons into the equivalent of an "Abrams tank" for ten minutes.
I've hated that about filling gas tank in Europe. If any place offered that option, I've forgotten.
Yep flip the little flap forward and it stops when it's full.
I don't think they allow locking nozzles in Cali?
@@waynepurcell6058 i drove a miata for 16 years and never over filled it
425 Miles from LA to San Francisco on the route he is taking. For about 360 of those miles you are next to the ocean. The rest of the trip you are still very close.
You can drive the majority of the west coast seeing the ocean, most of Oregon into Washington is gorgeous
Mustangs can be V6 engines, and can get like 24-26 miles per gallon of fuel, but a top end V8 will get like 12-14...but has like 500 horse power.... from the sound of this engine, it's a V6
They used to have v-6's, but those were dropped and replaced by a 2.3 turbo.
My buddy had a 2011 v-8 get that we took on a few road trips, and we got around 25mph. That was mixed 75-80mph drive. Another buddy had the 4.0 v-6 and he would often get 30-32 mpg on his daily commute.
At slower speeds (55-65mph) it's fairly easy to hit 28mpg with a mustang GT.
Highway 101 entire length runs by the ocean. It 2478 km long. I really enjoy watching your videos. I would love to learn more about Portugal and your opinions about it. Keep up the good work!
Had the opportunity to take a road trip on the 101 from west of Portland Oregon to San Francisco and it was the best road trip of my life. Made it a two day trip one way. Fantastic experiences.
Pacific surfliner is a Train route that runs along the coast of California.
There are UA-cam videos about it.
You could see a lot in one day, hassle free.
If you surf or want to watch surfing, it's west coast100%. If you want to Wade in warm water with old folks, it's Florida
Come here, feel the love we have for visitors.
When someone speaks with an accent, we are instant friends!
The castle he talks about is not Modern. The owner deconstruct A french chateau and rebuilt it on The coast here
I lived in Pebble Beach and Monterey for years. One of nature's best gifts to the world.
The USA is so large, you should plan visits to America by region. The northeast, the south, the southwest. Florida and California could be adventures by themselves.
"You can drive a lot of time seeing the ocean?" Yeah, hundreds of miles in California. But you prefer Texas, right?
Actually, the drive along the ocean goes most of the length of the state and, while not as famous, it's just as pretty north of San Francisco as south where Sean is. That's almost 1400 km. When Sean drove the northern part of the state he took the more inland Highway 101 but Highway 1 still runs along the coast.
"Who has better beaches, California or Florida?" Depends what you want. Florida beaches are far better for laying on the sand and swimming in the ocean except in southern California. Generally, the water is much colder off the California coast and you only find big, wide, sandy Florida-style beaches in limited parts of California. But the California beaches are much more scenic and less spoiled because of California laws that limit development along the coast.
And California has no humidity.
The “Hearst Castle” was from France, disassembled and moved to California and reassembled there. Watch the UA-cam videos about this famous castle now in San Simeon California.
It's so cool to see America through the eyes of those who don't live here. We who live here sometimes forget what all there is to see in our own backyard. We live and work here day to day not always being able to or getting the chance to see it all. Thank you for sharing how you feel about our country. Take care, keep safe and if/when you have a chance to come to our shores may you enjoy it.
I owned a new mustang for several years and I can tell you that setting in the front seats are very comfortable BUT the back seat is very small, probably only big enough for children AND my mustang HAD A BIG 8 cylinder motor but still go good gas mileage, it got 28 to 30 miles a gallon if you drove the speed limit, so it was always good on gas mileage.
For a less expensive trip, North Carolina is very beautiful, and within driving distance to many interesting places. They have 3 international airports. A little more expensive would be Boston area. There's so much history.
Yeah, these are NOT CRUISING cars. It’s a sporting car, not meant for sitting in for ongoing hours and hours.
Only downside about the Mustang was that it was not the V8 version. Although he saved a bunch on gas!
We need to get this guy over here to the states. I love that he appreciates our nicest areas
I drove a mustang for 8 years and it actually had super comfortable bucket seats. Seats with heating and cooling are actually pretty common here, and my current car also has a heated steering wheel. There is a ton of coastline in the USA that you can drive along.
Not uncommon on newer cars for seats to be cooled or heated both front and back. My car is too old for that, lol, and it will probably be my last as I am 75 and it's paid for.😁
My high school is just up the hill from where he started that trip in the parking lot. That’s the spot we used to run down to and then turn around and run back to the high school track team. Spent a lot of time camping and fishing in Big Sur.
Miami and California both have palm trees (as do other US cities including San Francisco, Phoenix, Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans, Mobile and so on) but they are different species of palm.
Note, there are ways to save money visiting California. For example, as I've said, you can do your "road trip" from San Francisco to Medocino or even Crescent City--north of San Francisco. The scenery is much the same with a number of charming small towns (and redwoods too) but it's far less well known so there are cheaper places to stay. The best known town is Mendocino. I'm not sure how much a B&B or AirBnB there would cost but during the week it may be reasonable. A bit farther along is Eureka which is a bigger town and surely would have less expensive places to stay because it's not really a tourist place (they have fishing and lumbering industry and a university).
31
So true. If you only hit the big cities, you'll pay for it. And the smaller cities are so beautiful.
All American coastlines are so beautiful and have a variety of things to offer, so its just up to the person where they want to visit.
I recall first time I drove up 101. Heading north, the ocean to my left, It was quite magical - it was night, the moon was hanging over the ocean. Occasionally some lit-up building or house would float past inland and disappear and leave me wondering if I’d imagined it.
Shaun should have started his drive up in Washington. The coastline in Oregon is stunningly beautiful as well. Then you can stop and see the big Redwoods in northern California before getting back on CA 1.
He did on another episode but took 26 & 97 through Oregon and missed the coast drive.
Yeah, I was thinking just California, but Carmel is already halfway there regardless.
He started in Portland, I think. But maybe did a video from Seattle, IDK?
America is the country of road trips. I have pictures of my grandparents driving across the US during 1950 right before he went to Korea.
The interesting construction is actually a way to keep landslides off the road. The rocks fall from above and land in the ocean instead of the highway.
Beaches...for surfing, California. Beaches for searching for shells...Florida.
The best beaches you ask? Michigan. Sunrise and sunset on a great lake in the same day. Salt free Shark free. All four seasons.
Lake beaches are SO overlooked. Midwesterners know how to keep the great lakes to ourselves lol
I don't know a lot, but Mulholland Drive is notorious. Named after the man who helped bring water to the LA area, it has huge mansions, but an air of mystery. According the web, 450 people have died on "Dead Man's Curve" on the road. Maybe watch a movie or read a book about Mulholland to get some historical perspective.
I would question that number if it's assigned to one spot in the road. I drove on a stretch of Mulholland Drive once and was passed by two sports cars. That was dangerous on such a curving road because it has two-way traffic and you couldn't see what lay ahead the next bend.
Motor Trend: "that twisty hilltop road is famed for '70s street racing (like Sunset Boulevard, it has a Dead Man's Curve)"
Internet:
"Dead Man's Curve' is a 1964 hit song by Jan and Dean whose lyrics detail a teen street race gone awry. It reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart"
"The singer goes out for a leisurely drive one night in his Corvette Sting Ray, when a driver pulls up alongside in his Jaguar XKE... According to the song, the race starts at Sunset and Vine, traveling westbound on West Sunset Blvd., passing North La Brea Ave., North Crescent Heights Blvd., and North Doheny Dr... The North Whittier Drive curve, a nearly 90° right turn traveling west on Sunset Boulevard just past North Whittier Drive, may have been the 'dead man's curve' in the song..."
"Jan Berry, of Jan and Dean, would himself later be involved in a near-fatal incident in 1966, when he crashed his own Sting Ray into a parked truck on North Whittier Drive near (but not on) Dead Man's Curve."
The Pacific Ocean along the West Coast is clearer, but colder due to currents. The Atlantic Ocean along the East Coast is warmer due to those same currents. In general they move clockwise around the ocean, so on the West Coast you have cold water coming down from the Arctic, which takes time to warm up, and on the East Coast you have water coming up from the tropics, which is already warm and takes time to cool down.
Wait to visit California until you have a few weeks.
I am 2nd generation Southern California born & raised. Mother born in 1919, inland from San Diego, near the Southern border.
Lived in Santa Cruz, CA, for 1 year of uni. Favorite place is Santa Barbara. Lived there for about 11 years. 100% income goes to survival. I was 17 when I moved there for uni. Was used to not having any "extras." Like more clothes than the basic necessities. No car.
But living where I could walk to the beach every day??? That was at uni.
Good memories.
Husband's job brought us to an inland valley suburban area, almost 40 years ago. Eldest son was 1 year old.
Enjoy your family, André. Enjoy every day!
The thistle is a national symbol of Scotland in the same way that the shamrock is of Ireland, the lily flower of France, and the rose of England, in case you were wondering.
31!
Mustangs came out when I was a teenager. My rich-friend’s father her one. She would take us cruising around bowling alley. So cool!
I think one thing visitors to this country dont realize they haven't considered when planning long road trips is that they likely aren't used to driving for long periods of time in one session. that puts a lot more strain on your back and legs than you'd realize. sitting in one spot doesn't seem like it'd be exhausting, but try it for 5+ hours when ordinarily 20 minute car trips are long for you. it still even amazes me that it can only take a few hours to get from the east coast of the UK to the west even at its widest point. it takes 7 or 8 just to get across Iowa, and that's without stopping.
The heat in California never bothered me.
California is a BEAUTIFUL state. Everything is pretty in California. the streets and highways have flowers everywhere. The restaurants are gorgeous. They put fresh flowers in the bathrooms. The houses are beautiful and full of light. The food is wonderful. California really is spectacular. the area where they are driving is Carmel and that area is famous for being beautiful. And yes, it is very expensive to live there.
Not to mention our Southern Coastline. Almost forgot.lol.....
The California Coastline is 840 miles long. And yes it’s beautiful. I went to California in 1975 and went to Sequoia National Park and it was absolutely stunning. My Aunt lived in LA and we stayed there for 2 days. They had a beautiful swimming pool in the back garden that was so awesome. My mother and I went by Greyhound Bus , took us 3 days and nights to get there. After that we visited a boyfriend in the middle of California, stayed there for 2 weeks., we had a wonderful time. California is a very beautiful place to visit. This whole country is amazing. The West Coast stretches from California to Oregon to Washington State the up to Alaska. This is a beautiful country in my opinion. I live in Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. It’s very hot and humid here. Florida is about a 2 hour drive from Mississippi and the beaches are beautiful there too. I hope you can visit one day but you may not want to go back. Sending many blessings your way.
Yes, vehicles can have heated and/or air conditioning options for the seats. In warm climates like Southern California, especially with a black interior the seats can get so hot if the car has been sitting in the sun it’s unbearably hot. And in cold climates the interior of the car can be quite cold, so the heated option is great. And he drove right past a great viewpoint on Mulholland Drive.
The legendary Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) was first started in the 1930s, and remains a marvel of human effort that hugs over 900 kilometers (600 miles) of California’s rugged and beautiful coastlines.
I drove this road for the first time at 16 from Santa Rosa to Anaheim in my Fiat 850 spider. What a fun time for a teenager and good buddy. In some spots it is very winding but a fun drive.
I have done this road trip many times, by myself, with friends and with family. If you come to California this a must do road trip. The one thing I mentoned on Shaun's video is that you have to stop and visit The Hearst Castle State park. You have to pay for the tour, and you should, the view from "La Cuesta Encantada" is breath taking especially from the Neptune Pool. Though the indoor pool is not to be out done.
Sarasota Florida has the best beaches, IMO. The sand is snow-white and powder soft, and the ocean water is warm enough to swim in
I drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles along Route 1 back in 1993 and it was beautiful! The towns along the way were amazing and it would be easy to call any of them home.
California is truly beautiful, but I've found every state in the U.S. has amazing beauty. Ignore the politics and enjoy the scenery!
just an FYI. The beach waters along Washington, Oregon, and Northern California are cold as the North Pacific current sends cold water from near Alaska to the south, along the coast. It gets gradually warmer the further south you go. LA and San Diego have relatively warmer water.
The east coast is the opposite. A warm current from Africa travels UP the east coast in the the Gulf Stream. It's a myth that the water is warm in Cal.
I live in Florida, about an hour from the beaches in Southwest Florida. I absolutely love it here, I love the beaches, and I love living in the tropics! It’s very beautiful here, especially along the coast 💖🫶🏼
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We manufacture the “Shelby Cobra”. If you’re a Mustang fan, you should definitely check out the Shelby, the absolute best Mustang!
