lucky i gotta drive like 40 min to just go cruise the mtn

 

Not a lot of great roads out here that aren't patrolled heavily by our highway patrol and packed with ricers driving incredibly dangerously. Rotarybeat, you are the envy of 7club.

Edit:

Is this the same place as my second picture I posted, just before they paved the turnout and added power lines? Mine is the road up to Mt. Baldy.

 

I dont think so unless they added more trees aswell?

 

thats sick over here the road is alone i didnt even seen a car driving by or even here it, but mtn baldy looks sick to bad i dont even know where it is

 

Between Claremont and Upland CA in the foothills of the Inland Empire. Lots of CHP :\

 

been of the computer for a while but got back.
so was able to make it up to lookout a few times before the snow hit again.
cars, eclipse(me), 96 civic ex, 93 preulde auto, 94 civic ex 4 door.
i should be the slowest but the civics are to scared to go ahead of me.
prelude is the fastest, with his snow tires and mad engine braking abilities.
my eclipse is too f-in heavy.
i can keep for about half the mountain then suffer horrid brake fade.
so who wants to fix my fc for a 100 bucks so i can make it to the mountains in it?
anyone? huh? huh?
haha, shyte.

 

dam thats the bad thing well ill just cruise overthere check it out thanks, or ill just take my focus for some FWD FURRY!!!! lol

 

whats wrong wit ur FC

 

Some recent ones!

 

damn those are some nice pictures

 

yea nice cars and place

 

So jealous. I got find some near me.

 

rotary beat driving touge in the SNOW.

*****.

I dont care if you're taking the hairpins at 15 miles an hour, thats still *****.

I'm waiting til the snow melts up there. Not like i have a choice. I have a SHITLOAD of work that needs to be done to the fc. Parts are piling up because i'm lazy and too ***** to brave the cold.

 

Nice pics up on Baldy. It's a tad different right now due to our high precipitation totals.

That is a different turn. There are a series of turns up there that all look similar. That is likely the southern of the two low-2nd gear tight turns.

I sold my FC. I can't afford anything right now due to school, but once I'm out and breathing again, I hope to build up a mean RX3, all black, 2dr, '75 or earlier to avoid Cali smog rules. :-) I'm driving an '80 TE72 'Rolla at the moment. I miss Rotary engines. :-( Drove an RX8 around Thanksgiving, on the street after showing my buddy the roads in the mountains. I didn't get to push it, so no real opinion.

Y'all should go up and drive in "bad driving conditions", if you don't already. The more training, the better you'll get. Driving on snow and ice/black ice is a blast, and makes dry tarmac easy peasy.

Some pics






Rotarybeat, I dig that roadside ice. Wish I could go drive out there and then climb that.

Keep the faith, guys.

 

man i love the fact you have such a nice car but you arn't afriad to drive it. most people would barely drive that in perfect weather let alone in the snow.
using that car as it should be a beautiful as it is its not a statue its ment to be driven. LOL

 

Well thanks for quoting my entire picture post Kenneth... my bandwidth on PB thanks you!

 

vacuum death somewhere, i think.
the main problem is the owner not the car.
i have no time to work on it and when i do have time it tends to snow or something.

 

the absense im still amazed at how clean looking your fc was at the san bernardino meet

 

Wow man thank you!! Which RX-8 is yours? Sorry, there were a lot of RX-8 guys there and I wasn't able to make it to lunch to hang out after the cruise due to work. Link me to some pics of your car on 8club

I'm willing to bet that most people have at least SOME size cache on their browsers.

 

yeah there were alot of 8s there, i think i was the only grey one though lol, theres pics on my 7 profile eaven easier

 

I want to move to boone/asheville so bad. A few more years and i should be solid to pack up and head for the foot of the mountains!

 

Cruised up and down Pikes Peak 4 times yesterday. Was just about the most fun I've had on a mountain pass. Was haulin ***** thru the dirt and came sliding up to the rangers blocking the road! Yelled at me for about 10 seconds, told me to slow it down, but to still have fun. It was classic! And just enjoyed the whole day so much! Definitely worth the trip! Here's a few pics. Sorry was more into the driving then taking pictures of good corners. But enjoy! I sure did

Waitin on a dump truck, lol




Yes, I even drove thru the dirt with the custom paint (although with my plans this winter it won't matter )



A fox who seemed quite intrigued by the rotaries, haha

 

And us leaving the park, exhausted, cars dirty, and ready for more!!!




And the road we get to take home (Hwy 24)


Overall, great F#$%in day!!!

 

oh **** thats awesome wish i was there

 

That is so awesome!! I wanna go now! We have hundreds of miles of touge where I live but no fun dirt...
