Welcome to Road Trip America, Road & Track’s new video series that explores the best driving roads across the U.S. Join editor-at-large Jethro Bovingdon as he travels the country with exceptional performance cars, finding new roads, and meeting cool car people on the way.
In this episode, we visited Angeles Crest Highway, Route 33 out of Ojai, Ventura Raceway, and Route 58 to San Luis Obispo, California.
We'd love to tell you we really thought outside of the box when marrying California’s amazing roads with a suitable car. Yet, that would be a lie. It had to be a Porsche. An open-topped, hardcore Porsche sports car for the full cliché.
We're not apologizing, though. The 718 Boxster Spyder RS is just too good to regret. California’s roads are too good to ignore. And we’ll have some weirder, more unexpected combinations to come.
