***August 16th G/Z Cruise***
Was good seeing every1 today. Those road are a blast even on 4 wheels
Well since Tevi decided to make it serious (which is necessary) I'll just say that if you were trying to drift through those turns at those speeds, that was a major mistake-I don't care if you have front wheel, rear wheel or whatever. Secondly, I hope it scared the **** out of you and you're more cautious next time. The last thing I would have wanted to do was try to explain to the cops and your family how you flipped your car and died.
We kidded with Mike "the rolling road block" for going slow last time but being overcautious every time will at least keep you alive as opposed to being overconfident just once which could be the last thing you know.
Blackuratl, truly glad you're okay, but I hoped you learned a valuable lesson about your car, your skills, and your luck-buy a powerball ticket homie, it's over 200 million.

Yea, he slowed down pretty well when he went in. I lost site of him for a split second and I came around the corner and I was scared cuz I thought it was a lot worse than what it was. 
Yea Ben and I took it pretty easy on the way home and no one made a big deal about being 45 mins late. Which is good cuz I woulda flipped out. I loaded a link to the album but I'm not sure how well it will post up. I'll post another just in case

You got some good convoy shots Mike.
The shot of the TL is kind of deceiving. You need to look at the tree and the person in plaid shorts by the road to see how slanted the car really sat. You should have gotten pics of the skid marks too.

All in all, I'll agree w/ all the posts. The only leary point that we come to with inviting others is we don't want "immature" driving. If you don't know the "limits" of your car, that's definitely NOT the time and place to test them. The height, wheel base, and width of the tires, and suspension of your car does not compare to the newer platforms we were cruising on. I wasn't really irritated through the twisties, I thought(besides the incident) that everyone did very well besides a few minor spacing of getting off peoples a**es.
I think the same thing about Janik almost every time we cruise when he's still right behind me as i'm pushin' it through EVVVVERY turn and look back and think "he's still there..how the hell?" The huge difference with Janik is I know he has A LOT of experience w/ cruises and twisties when it comes to the Z and G clubs where he knows his car, he knows what it can and can't do.
Last but obviously not least...
The one part that bothered me was the way home on 52, and the STUPIDITY of cutting people off, cruising up in the right lane and then expecting everyone to let you in, just DUMB. This is when I sit back and just shake my head and am like WTF?

I think a lot of people are I got pushed to the back and wanted to get back towards the front The only thing that really bothered me, was when we got onto 494 and everyone was just RACING
im like, holy crap we are going fast. 
And Lance, you know i know how to handle the big bad G sedan
Cant lose me 
I got lots of experience on some of the craziest roads out west, that literally made your arms and legs hurt from so much back and forth and back and forth. 
The thing that was letting me down was my suspension, and my brakes. Every time i'd go to brake, those ***** would just SHAKE. Seriously need slotted rotors. And my suspension? Yea, that needs a change as well. I feel like im on jello half the time.
