I am new to the Los Angeles area and am looking to put together a mailing list of the local Oppos to coordinate some meetups and/or drives with people. So feel free to shoot me an email (address at the bottom) to join the list. Anyone in the Socal area is welcome (or further if you want to come). Also, feel free to just post here on Oppo if you are in any way interested in following something like this. To start us out, I would like to coordinate a meetup in Malibu on a Sunday afternoon in the near future (February?). No idea what the plan would be but there are plenty of roads to try there, places to eat, car watching to do, or just hanging out at the beach to chat. Depending on what cars show up could determine how serious we are about doing a drive. Even a simple cruise down the PCH would be fun.
My trusty chariots
WHAT: Oppo meetup LA
WHERE: Malibu Kitchen (3900 Cross Creek Rd, Malibu, CA 90265)
WHEN (tentatively): Sunday Feb 4th ~11am
CONTACT: rduncan5678@gmail.com

Sweet! I dont even know if I am available that date but I figured I would just pick a placeholder for now. I am only like 20 minutes from Malibu so I can do anything last minute there but I know others are probably further.

I am about an hour away. As you probably already know, early morning works best or traffic makes the whole thing unenjoyable haha.

Oh yeah I am still adjusting to that whole traffic thing lol. It may be of value to push the meetup earlier then. It might also be possible to even stop at the top of the Snake too. I love going there for the people that show up but its such a small parking area.

It took me longer than I would like to admit, but I finally figured out earlier is better. I would be down to meet, (coffee?), drive, then grab lunch/brunch after. A friend currently lives in woodland hills so I could always crash there and at least avoid the late morning PCH rush.

Sounds like a plan to me. Im in woodland hills as well. I wasnt sure if meeting in the valley or on the ocean side was better for where people would come from. And some people I suppose are afraid of the cold in the morning lol. I know its been as low as like 34 degrees while rolling through the Snake on the way to work. Seems great for my summer tires.

That is pretty chilly! I always forget how cold it gets up there overnight.

Haha yeah I was surprised the first time I saw that. I knew it was kind of cold but driving through in the Miata, I had no idea. I had the heat blasting so I was toasty. Then one day driving through in the Subaru, the fancy external temp gauge and it said ~35 a few days and even as low as 32 once. I figure as “winter” goes on there should be a few colder days like that. This is before 7am though so its not that surprising.

That makes sense. I think the earliest I’ve ever gotten up there was around 8 AM. Still cold, but at least the sun had a few hours to warm up the east facing spots haha

I took it easy those days. Most mornings its at least in the upper 40s to lower 50s which is safe to rip it going uphill. And at night coming home its still ~60 generally which is perfect to really go to the limit since it get to the mid 70s and the sun baked the pavement all day.
