Brilliant!
Though given that the old Bay TRACON on the field at OAK has been consolidated with several other approach facilities and moved to the hinterlands of Sac (I think it's now on/near the field at MHR), I bet there are quite a few controllers there at NCT who enjoy rolling coal more than driving Hyundais! (ZOA is still located in Fremont though)
