Come to a Dragon meet. It's pure driving nirvana. Loads of SoCal and Canadian guys make the trip for the fall event. It's some of the best driving roads in the world and definitely some of the best driving in North America.
Rented a C8 for a week (what a monster) ended up buying a TLX. Beautiful car inside and out. Killer stereo. Handles better than it should given its weight. Not my dream car, just a Honda Accord in a tux.

Come. You'll hate yourself if you don't. I know most guys think we'll be doing this forever and ever.... not true. Nothing is forever.
Make it down to Sacramento and we'll run out there together.
Seriously. It'll be half the cost in hotels just for starters. Be here May 13th.
