80 mi south of Temecula puts you in Mexico.
Downtown SD is about 60, north end of town around 40 to 50. But everything’s “freeway close,” you cover ground pretty quick unless it’s rush hour.
Temecula’s sort’a between OC and SD. Not too long ago it was the middle of nowhere, nothin’ but farmin’, ranchin’n rattlesnakes.

Urban sprawl’s filled much of it in but I think locals are still used to driving one way or the other when they need something specialized. Lot’s of locals commute to either SD or OC daily.
As the owner of a specialty car wouldn't he be willing to go the extra mile (well, 50) to get the job done right? Maybe he can work out an agreement for the extra mileage with someone mobile?
