Went on a chill cruise up to Mount Hamilton recently and recorded some footage (in vertical for the socials) and snapped a couple of quick photos. Enjoy the ASMR and the scenery!
Some background on Mt Hammy:
Located just east of San Jose in the Diablo Range, at approximately 4,265 ft, Mount Hamilton is one of the tallest peaks in the Bay Area. The route there starts in the San Jose foothills and is a narrow, winding road also known as Highway 130 and is about 20 miles long. According to the lore, it has 365 turns to the summit. The grade isn't too bad since the road was initially designed to accommodate horses and wagons carrying heavy equipment up the mountain to build the Lick Observatory, which was completed in 1888. The observatory is owned and operated by the University of California. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Sierra Nevadas.

Just wrapped up a trip to Hong Kong and did come across quite a few nice/interesting cars while there (unfortunately I did miss shooting quite a few too since some drove by before I was ready to take a photo). Overall, saw lots of Lambos (lots of Uruses), Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches, Aston Martins, Jaguars, Maybachs, and Rolls-Royces.

So which do you think has more (percentage wise) sports/super cars, HK or California?

Probably HK if we're going by sports car per population. There's much less cars in HK in general, but of them, a higher percentage is comprised of sports/super cars.
The first of 4 new parts came today prior to my photo reveal... these are simply replacements, but good god I love them.

On the way to dinner, spotted an interesting car. The Toyota bB Open Deck, a rare, compact coupe utility (a small pickup/ute) based on the first-gen bB (Scion xB), featuring a small truck bed with a tailgate and opening rear glass instead of a traditional hatch, plus unique suicide rear passenger door for easy access, fold-flat seats, and a distinctive look with roof rails.
