I have never been past Barstow. That whole part of the state is very interesting to say the least.

Avoid speeding or you’ll end up pulling Bessie.

I used to drive to college with my friend, there are so many lots like that with cars out in the desert, I want to get a hauler and go along and fill it up. The biggest Opel GT parts place is in CA, I almost got one until I found the Z.

I dunno. Every time I’m out there I feel like “old Route 66 sure took its sweet time getting from Flagstaff to San Bernadino”. Between all the re-alignments, re-routes and zig-zagging? It must have been a long miserable trip getting across the desert to the LA Basin.
If you cross at Topock be sure to notice “the original Route 66 bridge” which was re-purposed decades ago to carry all the natural gas for the Bay Area across the Colorado River.

Poor Opel. Just wait Victorville is a panacea of Wallyworlds and Olive Gardens!

Somewhat different to it’s namesake. There is a really good tyre shop and probably an old Omega quietly rotting somewhere about the place, so there is that.

It’s Lisa Catera!
Terrible TV commercial reference. I’ll let myself out.

I’ve actually been to, or at least through, all those places.
