Default The Snake

After going to Supercar Sunday this past weekend, more on that later, I decided to take a drive up Mulholland Highway so I could enjoy the sights and sounds of the awesome machinery that can be found around the area. "The Snake" is what the windiest part of the road has been nicknamed and it is a very popular spot for motorcyclist, sports car drivers and the spot where many commercials are filmed. It is a very windy piece of road which starts at The Rock Store, a very popular hangout spot, and ends at a look out point a few miles ahead. The look out point is always where I choose to hang out as that is the meet up point where many groups of enthusiast seem to like to hangout and have a little pit stop during their canyon runs.

During this outing I spotted a few Ferrari's, a Viper, a whole bunch of Cobras, S2000's, Nissan GTR's, a green mystery machine, a cammed LS1 280Z, Porsche GT3RS 4.0, old British tin, a 56 Chevy and a real 32 Ford...and the list goes on and on. Oh yeah, and I also spotted Jay Leno in his 1915 Hispano Suiza powered by an 18.5L V8. The car is so primitive that even the brakes are cable operated! Leno had a few small issues with the car while on the run, but he was able to quickly fix it and be on his way.

If you ever make it to Supercar Sunday I recommend you add a drive up Mulholland as part of your trip. Just make sure to respect the rules of the road and drive or ride safely. There's been an ever increasing cop presence on the road lately due to people trying to show off and running out of skills on the road.

When I was at UCLA i used to drive Mullholand all of the time. I had friends in Studio city so it was a fun and easy access road from Bel Aire. Beautiful drive. I just think it may be a bit dangerous with a high HP car that is super wide
