As promised, my camera upload. I wished I'd centered the camera better and had had less glare, but it is, what it is.

I am beginning to feel that all my solo driving could be considered racing too.

Today I brought a camera. Tonight I'll post my greasy drive. This was a less enjoyable drive as the wet, cold road lacked some grip. Less, but still wouldn't miss a moment of it! VDC on and I still slipped a bit.

got distracted and pulled away...not sure i can explain why ....i can however commiserate

it's the way of the world....on to your next post and video

Thanks for making the connection. I was asked by the instructor at Sears Point

"Does anybody here have a You Tube video of driving?"

I raised my hand.

"Really " he says, "that is the definition of Hooliganism!"

Yeah I know it is surprising as I have all my teeth, and have never owned a truck, but if the shoe fit's...... I can not talk about running a still, as I could be reported for an illegal activity and get another "racing" violation of the forum rules.

Jealous, looks like a fun commute!

MOAR videos please!

LMBmikeZ · 01-10-2013, 07:08 PM

Nice vid buddy! I watched almost all of it and am definitely jelly of your commute! That's an awesome road

Mt Tam I am · 01-23-2013, 10:21 AM

I had a car load of groceries and was on my way home when a kid with his fathers* 911, approaches me and asks about my car. I asked him about his 996, and he corrected me that it was a 911. A few more exchanges about cars and he asks me to race him up the mountain where he has seen me driving. Holy Toledo, this is my daily commute. I tell him no thanks and he becomes less polite and makes a few more comments designed to get my goat.

I leave Safeway and head home. the kid follows me, antagonizes me at the light, gets ahead of me and drives off at a speed I would normally drive but I do not want this kid near me so I pull over for about a minute, so he can get away and I figure I am done with him.

I already forgot about him and just cruised home. I could see through the trees that slower cars were ahead. I knew I might get to pass these cars if I got to the passing point up ahead of them.

I timed it perfectly and passed three cars including the 911. I did not know he was in the group until after I'd made my move. I was not racing and had the police been there I'd have done the same.

I was rewarded with an open road all the way home. The groceries survived although they did get loose a bit.

* I assume this due to age and ignorance.
