I'm driving from central California to San Diego and I'm driving my 1999 Honda Civic with 201K miles, engine runs like a champ and has a new catalytic converter and a bunch of new parts. I'm just kind of scared it won't make the up hill on interstate 5 in Kern County ("The Grapevine") so I was wondering if I go down US 101 (I know it's about 30 miles longer) but is there some type of really drastic up hill on 101 heading from Santa Barbara down to Los Angeles? Thanks!
