This has a fun, specific local flavor that the others don't — actual freeway numbers (805, 163, I-5, 52), actual San Diego geography. That specificity is a real strength; it makes the song feel grounded in a real place instead of a generic "open road" song.
The chorus is strong — "chasing that horizon where the blue sky meets the black" and "the wind as my compass and the road as my creed" are your best images in the song, and "San Diego Freedom" as a repeated phrase works well as a hook.
Nice callback in verse 3 with the "Billy Mac the Wizard" / magic wand line — ties your artist persona directly into the song's mythology, which is a fun touch.
