My trip through the twisties

Last night I was bored and decided to take my car through the twisties. I was going to drive from Newport to Malibu on PCH, but decided to go from San Juan Capistrano to some lake on Hwy 74. This thing is a beast! Now to clean all the bugs off the front....

Glad you got home safe and enjoyed the ride.

Can't wait to live in the hills myself. No such thing as a twistie in south Texas - even the on-ramps are straight.

Aren't these G's grippy? I was very impressed myself when I took my G out for a coastal run down Hwy 1 for the first time. I was even more impressed when I took her on a run from S.F. to Santa Cruz via 35/9.

Drive safely and ENJOY!

Don't even get me started about Michigan. I'm in the Detroit area and I can't find anything aside from a 90 degree right angle anywhere. I wish I was back in SD. :.(

The biggest elevation change you'll see is if you fall into a pothole.

Last week I was bored heading home from Woodland Hills, Ca. and took Mulholland (sp?) from Topanga Cyn. to Kanan Dume. I didn't really punch it being at night but it was a joy-ride for sure. Never had anything like it in Lubbock, Tx.

Wait till you get some sway bars, it'll feel like a totally different machine

There is a back road inear my neighborhood in Maryland called Surrats Road. It has more twist and turns than I can count. When I'm felling down I take it....its always made me feel better. The G handles it well.
