I just got back from Mt. Baldy today and since the moronic park rangers closed the road to the resort without any sound reason, I took my parents through GMR (was driving my dad's RX400h) and these 3 EVOs come around a corner in our lane and I had to swerve into one of those rocky turnouts.

It sucked, I felt bad for the RX but also because it scared my parents who are already not happy about the Z canyon runs I go on haha.

I would rather just drive an M1 with rubber tracks. I wouldn't have much of an impact then. :)

That I knew about, the road had been repaired a couple days ago (confirmed with resort when I called prior) and basically park rangers closed the access road above the village to cut volume to the resort. All the locals who came down from the resort told all the (somewhat angry) people waiting that there was not a single issue with the road and that they couldn't see why it was closed. There was a road closure issued at 9am but it was to remain open before 9am, however we showed up around 8:15am and it was already closed for 30 minutes.

Oh well, that is some gnarly footage though. The stream running alongside Mt. Baldy rd was still pretty swollen today.

Hey now, mine would have gotten around just fine. It's GM that has trouble with the whole concept of things other than straight lines. :tup:

It only took Ford a billion years to figure out the curvy bits. Jeez :tup:

Just a thought would be nice just to put up those plastic stick divider cones on that turn, fill'em up with sand.

bullitt5897 01-06-2011 01:58 PM

Wow seriously.... Jeez my GF would run circles around those jokers in her GSR... so sad... Keep it in your own lane. I try not to venture into the other lane. If your going fast enough to have to do that you should be on the track not the road!
