View Full Version : Blue Ridge Parkway
moonkid 06-09-2009, 01:47 PM Maybe some of u remember a thread i posted like 3 week ago about the trip to squirrel spur or blue ridge parkway... well nobody replied but the trip was not cancel me n my friends went there n drove like crazy n have a GREAT time...
Well let me tell u.............
i set up a camera inside of my car n recorded everything since the gas station till the way back(when my battery died :-( ) the road is really curvy. i push my 8 to the handling limits, really close curves at 55 open curves at 65-70mph no problem... i even drifted a couple but my friends were on bikes n ask me to stop drifting!!!! lol :-(
i absolutely love my 8..
one of my friends ask me to let him drive it so hi drove it on the mountains while i was on his 1100 yamaha doing 95mph in front of him(i was chasin them the whole time so it was my time to be the leader!!lol) i cant post the video cus it is 1:49:56 so its way too long.. hopefully nxt time somebody will reply to my meeting post cuz i want some 8's buddies..

TopGear8 06-09-2009, 01:51 PM I'm not sure if I want to drive infront/behind you if you are drifting on public mountain roads...

TopGear8 06-10-2009, 11:50 AM ^Still, one rule of mountain driving is to never cross the double yellow line...
WOW - those pics were from an IPhone?? Very cool - WB is off, but otherwise not too shabby!
Oh...hard riding in jeans = Squids...

rddragoness 06-10-2009, 10:36 PM Thank you Top Gear I was tihinking the same thing.
This make me sad and mad at the same time!
OP....The ONLY rule you have on those PUBLIC mountain roadways is to NEVER cross that double yellow line...When we get together for groups like 30-40 cars from all over the country.....we really do want to go home. I'm not trying to be harsh, but bragging about driving like that on those roads when half the 8 owners on the east coast know them, is NOT cool. Its also advocating street racing which is not allowed on this forum. Learn your car and enjoy it. Don't kill yourself or someone else trying.
TopGear8 06-10-2009, 11:34 PM I agree, go to some HPDE events, or a local AutoX, and you will be less tempted to "drift" your car on mountain roads.
moonkid 06-14-2009, 07:48 AM im srry but 1st im not braggin n 2nd i already said im not gonna do it again i know it was stupid..:-(
cajunrx8 06-14-2009, 08:50 PM Where are the leathers!!!!!!!! Your buds riding rockets without gear on is the height of STUPID!!!
Sorry for the rant, one good slide and you will never be the same.
Skin grafts are unreal in the pain dept. just go to any hospital and check out the burn wards.

And I thought it was a bad idea to put different rolling diameter wheels on your ride...I bet he has a hell of a time with the traction control.:uhh:
