Heh, that's what you think! Mine has subsided as well over time, but put it on the track and it'll come right back ;)

Well, don't expect the "Killer Jetta" she didn't survive the last run. I think she has just become a tax write off, so..............I'll have to take the Carrera, I hope I can keep up. Don't worry guys, mine leaks like a bad faucet.

Guy, I'll be stuck in LA mid week for a couple of days with nothing to do but drive your amazing roads. How bad is traffic going to be mid week?

Is there a better time of day or night to follow what you guys are driving here?

Mornings after 10am are great, as long as you're comfortable passing the occasional gardener in a pickup. Actually, you're probably good through about 3:00pm. Other than that, after 10pm. The later the better. Let me know if you want to go with someone at night. I've admired the pics of your car for a while and would love to see it.

No time better for Mulholland, than after 12 am. :D Virtually no one on the road....... We do have deer, 'possums, raccoons, coyotes, and the occasional bobcat or mountain lion. Keep your eyes peeled late at night :eek:

I'm going to have to sit out the next couple runs. I'm going to install some front disc brakes on the car. I might be able to keep up with the crowd but having drums all the way around is just not a good feeling when the car ahead of me jumps on the brakes.
Have fun guys and I'll see you when I'm better equiped.

Bummer dude.
Well, I look forward to the further mods on your SuperTurboCorvair.

Great time today!
Some excellent cars, 8 in total.
Even got a tag along from Starbucks in the Boxster.
And then there was the guy in Seal's R8!

Jeremy had us stop here for "some mysterious reason." Then the R8 showed up for the second time today.

Yes, it was a good day. We have a driving tip for you. Constructive criticism (really) that we noticed from your video. I was doing the same thing, until a friend showed me different... Keep your hands at the 10 - 2 or 9 - 3 positions on the wheel! Next time you come around, I will show you what happens with your grip and then the correct position.

Heal fast and drive with us!

just shaving my tires

Hey Jeremy, I got an idea- Next Sunday before the run , drain all your oil and fill your engine with black paint. That way I 'll get a new paint job
:D
