Yea SF from Santa Monica is about an 8 hour drive. I can get to LA in 5 hours speeding at 100 MPH in the middle of the night when the roads are clear though haha. And everything between the Bay Area and LA is nothing but cows and odd odors haha.

Oh and the PRO store isn't in Santa Monica its in LA on Robertson Blvd. which isn't too far from Santa Monica anyway.
