For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to embed the video from my Vimeo account, so I just uploaded a low quality version on YouTube. Here's a little spirited driving we did about a month back in Palomar Mountain Road. There was recently a brush fire that almost engulfed the observatory we went to on this drive. I got the idea of driving here from a review Shut Up and Drive did for the RCF.


I don't have the same effects and resources these guys have, but I did my best with my GoPro. So, here it is, enjoy!

Stretched tires, aggressive offset, slammage, negative offset - it's just not safe to drive. LOL

Not to be a buzzkill by any means, but we recently had a mazdaspeed club member total his car on this same exact mountain (took a turn far too fast). This is a pretty serious mountain with difficult grade angled turns, but lots of fun as long as people drive reasonably (but especially more unforgiving with a FWD car that has an 80/20 weight distribution ratio, major understeer). He actually rolled twice and almost went off the edge:

Thanks for the heads up InLyneTrbo. I do agree with everything you just said. I'm a family man, and my heavy foot on the pedal days are far behind me. I actually had my wife and daughter with me on this trip. There are actually quite a lot of spots there where you'd see memorials for people who lost there lives driving on this road. Was a constant reminder to know my and my cars' limitations. And yes, that's why I don't like front wheel drive cars, and been against it since I was a kid. Front wheel drive cars are great economical cars and all, and people should really treat them that way instead of thinking it's a gotdamn sports car.

Agreed fwd blows, you can't hardly get controll of the car in the oversteer situations. But those twisties are fun to drive sc with a good suspension setup!!

Nice drive, KingPhilip! And thanks for the heads up, InLyneTrbo. This has been on my list of technical roads I've been meaning to drive in SoCal.

Thanks man, Mac makes video editing a ton easier.

I think you're missing the point of my video with that last sentence.

In the words of Shia LaBeouf: JUST DO IT!!! Or was it Nike? LOL
