Went out for a ride. . .

So I went out for a ride today on my FB, through a small canyon road that links Oxnard and Thousand Oaks (CA), It was a blast other than the fact that I need new bushings and my fenders rolled and pulled really bad. Any one know of any temp fixes until I can get this stuff done? btw I'm running 205/50R15 all around.

camber in the front is great! and for the rear, you should have no problems running 205

i know i know you said temporary... don't drive the car hard until you get the fenders done.

Sounds great!! Makes me miss when we lived in SoCal....I remember the road you are talking about....I also like taking the road out of Calabases down to Malibu.....

Do you know if they opened the road that goes from La Canada Flintridge to Wrightwood?? That used to be the BEST twisties road but after the floods of 2004 they shut down that road...

If it is open, check it out....made like Car and Drivers top 10 roads to enjoy a sportscar on!!

I used to live in Thousand Oaks... Too bad I moved away before I even had my license.

I just remember the roads leading from my house to the beach were amazing.

From La Canada Flintridge to Wrightwood was opened for about six months now, but due to recent fires pretty much all canyon roads are closed for now.

Good to know it is open...would be a cool drive if fires and smoke aren't a problem!
