Me too, but i onno bout this summer tho with gas prices and all. I'll probabally still do it and just be more poor.
I hear you. I was trying to make it out the rotary rally this last weekend... and they had an EFI tuning class that I signed up for... and I missed all of it because my distributor went out on the expressway.themadhatter;989315 said:
The cops there aren't terribly bad from what I have been told. If you ever plan to do a meet there, I suggest calling the local PD there and having them come out to tell everyone at the meet the dangers of US129. That way they are expecting you to be there, and they see that you are out there responsibly.
A lot of people wreck on that road. There were three wrecks there this weekend that I know about! haha.
I second the idea of a Supra meet in Deals Gap.
Nope, see the MK2 came with power steering, mine has just had it removed but still has a 2.5 turns lock to lock rack. Tis fucking heavy.mkiiSupraMan18;989806 said:
New roads are cool but I always like punting it a long a road I know and being able to drive it comfortably at speed knowing whats up ahead.

Looks like a fun road........But that bastard is crazy! He's passing all the cars on the wrong side!

Do you have a 330mm momo steering wheel though, reduced leverage doesn't help.
I've driven plenty of cars without powersteering and the MA61 is atleast 5 times heavier then any of them. Always funny getting ppl to jump behind the wheel first time they move it they crap themselves. Its like turning a 15-20kg weight
Theres two close to my hometown I will hit up on a weekend when i am bored or just need to let off some steam.
And a long twisting roads DEEP in the mountains where i can just mob with the pedal planted and test my cornering abilities. ~10 mile long road with sharp hairpins, sweeping curves, and short straightaways with big elevation changes.

I visited my friend in Tucson we went on a road trip and found the Devils Highway in eastern Arizona 265 miles and over 1000 curves with magnificent scenery Heaven on earth.
Also know as the Coronado Scenic byway

speaking of arizona, just northeast of apache junction in the east valley is a place called canyon lake. basically just one of those "back roads to other places in the state" that happens to be an absolute blast to drive. i owned a miata last year, and let me say, i didn't think you could get worn out driving one of those because they're so nimble and controllable... i was wrong haha...
the road to get there is amazing, simply put. there's a guy around here with an ariel atom that you see out there on occasion. it's highway 88 btw, and if you're in the valley, i highly recommend a day trip out there sometime. go in the middle of the week if you can, and be careful, traffic tends to cross that middle line...

Aside from Brown County National Park, there aren't any good roads that I know of....except 46 from Nashville to Bloomington, that's a fun road but it's often patrolled with 5-0's and slow traffic. WV is awesome, but risky with all the deer that loves to jump out in front of you...
I do that if I am not trying to get somewhere, but on days off I go driving just to drive even though the robber barons charge wayyyyy too much for gas, I enjoy it too much to quit.
=( I was going to go to Deal's Gap/the Dragon for the rotor rally with a few friends the week I crashed my Supra. I live pretty close to it and will be going to college even closer, so if some people want to get together to go I could probably help arrange something. I've never been there but it's so close I would be crazy not to go sooner or later.
on off note, the gas stations should just put on the price board, regular: YOUR SOUL, Premium: YOUR FAMILIES SOULS!!!!!
