I was out driving around with my wife tonight, and I was wondering, by a show of hands, how many other people driving around just to look at Christmas lights?
Ok, keep your hands up if you think that driving around looking at Christmas lights would make for a good cruise. I don't know about other areas of San Diego, but in Rancho Bernardo, there are a few neighborhoods that really put some effort into decorating. That would be fun to get a line of Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, V-Dubs, Volvos and maybe an SVX out there to see some lights. This would be a fun one for the wives/GFs, or husbands/BFs (the significant other of the car person) and of course, kids, since it would be like driving around looking at Christmas lights, but there would just happen to be a bunch of European cars driving around with you.
One of the things that made me think about this, is because of one neighborhood on the west side of the 15, in RB. They line the streets with candles in paper bags. I'm talking about THOUSANDS of them. I don't know if it was on the news, but it really was something to see.
I could lead through the best of RB, and then someone else could lead through another part of town. Maybe we could have several cruises going at the same time. Each cruise could have a photographer to post a "best of" from each cruise.
But I think they only do that on Christmas Eve, and I'm guessing that most people don't want to do any kind of meet on Christmas Eve.
So for next year, would there be any interest in something like this?
Discuss.
