Look what I saw on highway 101- how tacky.
When I was driving home last night through Cupertino, across highway 85 to the 101 north, I spotted this car- only got 2 crappy pics (no thanks to the iPhone and low light)...
A blue Ferrari with HUGE Apple decals on the doors and hood. Who could this be? It wasn't Steve Jobs or Woz...Biggest Apple fanboy ever perhaps?

Sweet ride: this photo was taken near my exit
More likely, a guy who just got rich off selling Apple stock.

What exit do you take? I'm in Redwood City- I exit on Woodside...

He does. A friend of mine lives near him and got passed by Steve in a Mercedes when he was out riding his bike.

Cool... Did he wave to Steve?
Maybe apple sponsors some kind of amateur racer.
Emphasis on amateur.
Parking in SF City itself is a nightmare LOL
Compared to other cities, it's pretty easy. Also, if I move there I'll get a garage. SF is not Manhattan.

No but later on he thought he should have ditched in front of Steve and then claimed an injury. We drove past Steve's house. There was nothing too special about it other than the multi car below grade parking.

Gets worse all the time, though. They keep upping the parking fines, there's rogue tow trucks (there was a scandal a while back regarding the tow company the city contracted with and their habit of towing random cars and selling them for parts), plus they're getting pretty quick with the Boot. Really don't have to try very hard to run up several hundred dollars a month in fines, double that if you get towed.
OTOH, during the Bubble they built, like, four hundred million square feet of lawyer lofts, so there may be some decent housing deals if you like galvanized steel counter tops and a wall of windows with a view of the building exactly like yours across the street.
Of course, being SF, "decent deal" means $2500 for a one bedroom.
When I worked at Apple I wouldn't touch 101, period. 280 was the only highway to get there in any relative timeframe.
Yeah, I liked the ol' 280. Scenic. Memorable.

True, that.
101 is soul sapping.

At the moment I can't justify $2500 due to the condo I'm still holding onto in FL. Need to sell that. So I'm waiting, and crossing my fingers. The other nice thing about many of the lofts is that they tend to be zoned "work-live," so if you run a consulting outfit on the side (cough cough) you can write-off some or all of the rent as a tax-free expense.
True, that.

The traffic overlay on Google Maps is essential to anyone who needs to make the decision between 280 and 101. Example
