First Canyon Run!
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, went on my first canyon run the other day and it was awesome. This car handles great! I am still breaking in the engine (keeping it under 4000) so it was pretty gentle but I still had a blast! Tepusquet Road in Santa Maria California is one of the best driving roads I have ever been on, if you ever get the chance to go, do it. Just stay on your side! There is a lot of blind turns!

You get that raven monogram that was in SLO a few weeks ago? I was scarily close to picking it up. Waiting for my Asphalt to come in though. Either way, some great roads on the central coast

No I picked mine up from the Santa Maria Toyota dealer. It was the only Manual monogram they had....

Where are you at in the central coast?

Gotcha, I just noticed the one up in SLO was gone last week and then saw this. I am up in San Luis Obispo. Run into a twin every now and then, not a ton though

There is nothing more epic than a canyon run in the twins. It's glorious. If you ever come down LA way I would be happy to show you some canyons around here.

It was my first time since I bought it, it really showed how well built and set up it was stock. Better than my na miata and ap1 s2k for sure.

You really don't notice that level of handling bumming around town, city driving.

I took mine up through there a month or so ago after a light rain. So much fun. Still a bunch of rubberneckers up there waiting for a spinout.

There are some fun roads around LA. I live at the base of gmr so I run that almost everyday. Never gets old haha.
