Driving, NJ, not in a SUV

DRIVING: An S.U.V.? Oh, That's So Over!

The hills around the Vernon Valley in northern New Jersey have curving stretches
of graded, tree-lined back roads, and almost no traffic. It was here that Mitch
Joseph led a group of other car owners on a Sunday afternoon drive. Mr. Joseph,
38, an electrician from Elizabeth, N.J., likes to explore, looking for hidden roads
with what he calls rhythm, and a couple of times a month he shares his
discoveries.

As their all-wheel-drive Subaru Impreza WRX's hugged the twists of the two-lane roads
against a backdrop of autumn's peak display, the scene looked like a car commercial set
to a turbo-charged beat.

''I like the stealth aspect of my car,'' Mr. Joseph said. ''It doesn't look like a sports car, but
it performs like one
.''

The WRX is great. Review forthcoming.

And the rear differential looks lie a mace. Great fetishizable kit.

Here's Keith Casey of Somerset, MA, in his WRX Hatchback/wagon.

Airtrain SFO: follow the signs

SFO's new AirTrain has a nice sign telling us that one day there
will be a skybridge from the train to the terminal.

Signs for the current train-to-terminal trek via tour of the parking
garage are a little crudely drawn.
