Beware of cops hiding around corners... don't roll through this stop sign at the Southbound 805 exit at Adams Ave
Here's a new way to do self guided tours of a few cities... San Diego, San Fran, Miami, Barcelona, and Lisbon
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7-zTQU3eBq3_F2h3l0Y8Sg4MenLxLN6wU9VxdPrSxL41LEFkWWid2mCKMm4Wvv1qq9-62mlbeG7k2kIUxsWCYerxGml3hh3fEBofsxti_Z0i0HJm4rziovIulSrMoJJ8WVA9tkJEdjQ/s400/DSCN2526.jpg)
A bit pricey to me, 1st hour $49, 2nd hour $39, Each additional hour $29
But a pretty cool way to zip around the city and enjoy the perfect San Diego weather, a Time Magazine "Invention of the Year", and the typical GPS guided tour is an hour and a half: http://www.gocartours.com/sandiego/sandiego-tours-downtown.html
Nissan Pao, right hand drive, and very cute for a newer car
try a 70 mpg at 40mph! 1000cc motor, 51 Hp. http://clunkbucket.com/nissan-pao-in-socal/ for a article and gallery
