The point of course is to see things notable.

I can just drive anywhere.


I'd think a week would be on the short side. You're going to want to spend only about 4-5 hours a day in the car, while getting out the balance of the time. At that rate, just the CA portion is 4-5 days. Hearst Castle tour will eat up (if memory serves) a good three hours. Monterey Aquarium - 4-5 hours. Skunk train in Fort Bragg - 4 hours. Checking out the redwoods off the beaten path a bit - again 4-5 hours.
