Right onto N Shore Dr which becomes E Anderson Rd
Right onto Bean Blossom Rd
Left at Stop sign at "T" on Main Forest Rd (no street sign)
Left onto Old Hwy 37 - unmarked, but obvious
Left onto E Farr Rd - possible ROUGH, I still need to drive it
Right onto E Anderson Rd - possible ROUGH, was a year ago.
(E Farr Rd & E Anderson Rd can be bypassed by staying on Old Hwy 37)

(Fox Hollow can be bypassed by turning Left onto the first unmarked street just after E Robinson on the right at Old Hwy 37. This will bring you to Hwy 37, just 1 exti south of Oliver Winery - was tad rough last year, but short section)
Right onto Hwy 37 a little north of Bloomington.

If the DOT ever repaves N Miller and N Shilo, I will be one very happy boy.
DOT had recently been trough the area filling potholes. They missed a few...OK... more than a few.

I'm still working on the map of this section. Will have finished by this weekend.

TrixZee and I mapped out a 2.5 hour backroads drive from Franklin to Oliver Winery. The above is part of it.

gimme a call when you do this. we'll take Jasons GPS just in case lol.

2009 Ferrari California, Revealed!

New Ferrari California revealed: a hugely versatile, innovation-packed GT

Maranello, May 13th 2008 - The first official photographs have been published of the Ferrari California, the latest addition to the new generation of Ferraris launched in 2004 with the 612 Scaglietti and added to more recently with the 430 Scuderia.

The Ferrari California joins the Prancing Horse's 8-cylinder family which has always been defined by power and performance. It also flanks the flagship 612 Scaglietti in the prestige sporty Grand Tourer segment.

The new Ferrari California will satisfy even the most demanding of owners in term of its superb vehicle dynamics and driving pleasure. The new model will be available exclusively as a convertible with a folding hard top. Both chassis and bodywork are aluminium, in line with the rest of the current range. The California will be powered by a new V8 engine mounted for the first time in the marque's history in the mid-front position.

In line with Ferrari tradition, the new model also features several innovations. Apart from its folding hard top, these include the original 2+ concept which guarantees exceptional versatility of use in the rear of the car. The California's 4,300 cc V8 engine features direct fuel injection and a "flat" crankshaft. It generates 460 CV at 7,500 rpm with a torque curve that enhances vehicle dynamics and provides maximum driving pleasure which is typical for Ferrari.

As per the traditional Ferrari transaxle layout, the engine, which allows the Ferrari California to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4.0 seconds, will be coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that boosts the car's performance while enhancing the driving pleasure, improves ride comfort and reduces fuel consumption and emissions (c.310 g/km CO2). The comfort is further enhanced by a new multilink rear suspension system. The Ferrari California is also equipped with the exclusive F1-Trac traction control system which made its debut on the 599 GTB Fiorano and has been further honed to suit the typical driving conditions expected for this new GT. Brembo brakes featuring carbon-ceramic material disks as standard guarantee superbly efficient braking.

In addition to sporting the marque's classic styling cues, the cabin has also been beautifully trimmed using quality materials by Ferrari's own skilled artisans. New accessories and equipment, such as the seats, steering wheel, instrument panel and infotainment system, together with optimised aerodynamics ensure that this is a highly ergonomic and enjoyable car to drive regardless of whether the top is up or down.

The Ferrari California is aimed at owners who desire a car which embodies everything the Prancing Horse represents in terms of sporty design and innovation, but also seek a car with greater versatility than ever. The car will be officially unveiled to the public at the Paris International Car Show. However, over the coming weeks, new photographs and further details about it will also be published.

Saw some ricer kid, white, in his early 20s, brown hair, driving a silver Impreza and some black 18" wheels and I believe Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires (I have awesome vision) driving around the round-a-bout @ Clay Terrace like it's an autox.

Casey, word of advise, DO NOT speed through those. There too many kids, too many people who do not understand the concept of a round-about, and too many cops.

Went to Tom Wood Lexus today.

I could not figure out how to program the homelink.

Pulled in their service bay where they are supposed to have service guys come to our cars and greet and ask questions. I waited there standing by my car for
30seconds...no one...cool, maybe they're busy...
1minute...kinda getting irritated...
1.5minutes...still no one. As a matter fact, at this point, I have eye contact with a salesperson yet he proceeded to ignore me and keep on talking to his colleagues about golf (his gesture suggested it). I had to go inside, and go get someone I know and have him find me a service rep [shakes head]. I really would not be going there if it wasn't for him.

Again, biggest pile of crap service available. Oh, and my homelink/garage? They got it done in like 15minutes and my garage still doesn't open from my homelink (and no I do not have a rolling code).

=================================

Went to Tom Wood Volvo. The salesguy was really helpful and friendly. The people there seem less snobby and more down to earth.
