My day in pics - LA area canyon/mountain/beach drive

[chokudoriS13]

Ok, I know I a total pic wh0re, but I love my car :P. Besides, I think some of the scenery in these pics is pretty damn cool :D. For those of you who want to see the XLR and the European Car Mag A4, scroll down. This drive was through the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountain Range, and took me from Los Angeles/Malibu to Ventura County and back twice. Total miles driven: over 250, and they were very enjoyable miles :D.

Awesome road with some awesome turns and some hardcore cliffs. Then again, aren't all cliffs hardcore :P :D.

Neptune's Net... Yes, this is the seafood place from "The Fast and the Furious"... And no, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel weren't there discussing RaceWarz :P ;)... And yes, they do have some incredible calimari.

Probably not as hard as it was putting it on his S13 http://www3.sympatico.ca/travischan/PUB/bash.gif.

That makes me want to get a coupe so bad. :(

But you need one thing, more negative camber!!

[DuffMan]

That caddy must have been a magazine test car as well, I don't think those things are supposed to be out for a while.

nnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddssss
mmmmmmmmoooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreee
cccccccaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmbbbbbbeeeeerrrrrrrrrr

[Fastback180]

Ohhh soooo nice! If you can get any prints of those pictures, let me know. I would love one. :cool: Badass post!

[CoasTek240]

beautiful scenery!

[misnomer]

Why do y'all say it needs more camber. I personally think it sits just perfect. Nice pics, only thing I can figger your car needs is some paint up front :P

hey vadim, i told u this is the best shot u had. i just wish i was up there with you. oh wait a minute....i was!! :D

theres only 3 major things your car needs right now.
1) PAINT!!!
2) an "oh $hit" bar for the passenger
3) better seats. cuz those s13 seats hurt me during those turns :(

u can get negative camber later, isnt that right dousan?:p

[FF DRIFTER]

Let the record show,I was the one up there when this pics were taken,not got sileighty?.Althought He was up there with choku the following night an did not have the pleasure of dining on fried fish like I did! An don,the oh **** handle is for people who actually cant enjoy the ride an sit there an scream OH $HIT,like a women! hahaahh

[adey]

Haha, I know where the 4th, 5th and 6th photos were taken. :) It doesn't take much to figure out where the others were taken! heh.

I don't see why that photo quoted by that guy could possibly make him want to own a coupe... it's a front on photo and you can't tell it's a coupe. :o It may have been a hatch (sileighty) for all he knew (judging from the pic, that is)... but anyway.

[Got Sileighty?]

ff drifter you're right. i wasnt up there while those pics were taken. i didnt get there til later. which was truly sad cuz neptunes net had already closed. what kind of restaurant closes at 7pm?? :mad: i was sooo looking forward to calamari & shrimp too, oh well.

and about the "oh $hit" bar, i only need it to hold myself still, cuz the crappy s13 seats kept digging into my ribs at every turn :(

[FF DRIFTER]

I have to agree on the seats but when your packing in the pounds like me an choku,your do ok!
