^^^nope, i guess it was closer to 6 hours. the difference is comin where im comin from i gotta get on 101, then get on 580 and then hit 5. so that adds about an hour.
so to get there in 4.5 hours you would only have to average about 85-90 mph...thats not that fast depending on the time of day. i push 85-95 through moderate traffic on 880 everyday coming home from san jose.
i never said i did, i think that was the assumption because it seems im going slower than other people. i mentioned i took 101 in marin to 580, but other than than that, no, if im going straight to LA. if im going to be stopping at coastal cities (san luis obispo, santa barbara) then 101 it is.
