Not so much. On the Valley floor? Practically obscene. You have to know how and where to use it. Greely Hill Road from Hwy 49 (Coulterville) to Hwy 120 for example. Hwy 49's not bad either :) On this road I once spotted in the rear view mirror of my diesel pickup a bright red Ferrari; I took the very first available turnout (I may have made one up), I was NOT going to spoil their fun. I'm sure there's an analogy for the 50 'cron APO ASPH. Stuck in Manteca in the Maserati is like using the 50 'cron AA to photograph your cat. Manteca has its highlights, I think it's the DQ.
