Saturday 3/23 DRIVE: Last chance to drive "The Most Dangerous Road in California"
Well we had a super successful meet and drive today, we had 18 cars total join us for a drive down Hwy 1 along the coast and then some twisty back roads! It was a beautiful day and we had a great time with everyone who came.
Please post up your photos and videos if you got them! --- start original post --- As discussed in the general NorCal DRIVE thread, we're going to do one last drive through the infamous and scenic Hwy 1 at Devil's Slide/Devil's Grade before it closes for good and is replaced by the Lantos Tunnels which are scheduled to open on Monday 3/25. Then the drive will continue south and through some other fun 'n twisty roads. Quote:

We should all meet up at one area since we are all going to be taking the same way. Just an idea(:

I love the idea!
But I don't like driving a dangerous road with a bunch of RWD sports car piloted by drivers that I don't know their experience/maturity level. I've seen these things end badly before. I guess my message is everyone stay safe and responsible!

How much does 12 FR-S/BRZs weigh again? If we're coming from Pacifica and south bound on 1, we'll be on the cliff side |

I've pushed the wife for dinner Fri at Sam's. This talk about Devils got me picturing one last photo op with the iconic PCH landmark. It won't be the same without it next week.
Drive safe and slow! Those with passengers, don't be enticed by your passenger saying "honey, look at that...". |
