Sporty paint job on the truck, but I bet he's not using the Comptech pro sport suspension package to lower it.

This has "rock slide" written all over it.

View from my friend's place in San Francisco

Artsy early morning picture (If you haven't noticed, I like to call pictures that don't turn out the way I intended "artsy")

Parking at my friend's place in the city.

The ever-touristy Fisherman's Wharf area.. this is Pier 39, the touristyist of touristy places.

And here's why.. Alcatraz. Approximately 30 million people visit Alcatraz every day.

Ok maybe not 30 million but these ferrys with several hundred people were departing a couple times an hour.

I settled for taking a picture of the island. It's actually supposed to be pretty interesting but I didn't feel like fighting the crowds or spending my entire afternoon getting tickets, waiting for the ferry, going on the tour, etc.

Well actually I took two... this one is zoomed in.

Everyone was standing around watching these seals at Pier 39 too.

All they do is lay there and occasionally swim around between floating docks. And smell bad.

Wyland's "Whaling Wall" on the parking garage at Pier 39.

Driving through the Presidio.

One of the entrances to the Presidio

There are some pretty scenic areas in the Presidio

Unfortunately this was a very short road.

Another steep hill. A few minutes after taking this picture I passed the two Johns from Pennsylvania in the "Team XV" car. A bunch of folks went from NSXPO to San Francisco... the entire Florida contingent (Wei Shen, TJ, Scott, Brian), the Team XV guys, Mike from Fiber Tek and his girlfriend, myself, a couple Southwest folks, and a few others.

Ok, I wasn't going to go see Lombard Street but I figured I'll probably never been there with an NSX again so why not drive down it?

Driving down Lombard St. It's acutally a main street through most of the city except for this one block that's really curvy.

Lombard St. from the bottom looking up. There were about 30 people at the bottom taking pictures on a weekday afternoon.

This street was at about a 50 degree angle. I pointed my camera down and it still looks steep. I literally couldn't see the road as I drove down it. You don't want your brakes to fail in San Francisco.
