Unhappy Solo isn't as much fun.

I had a good solo run up to newhalem yesterday (that's where Hwy 20 closes for the winter). While it's a good drive, the roads were a bit sandy but at least the snow had melted, it would've been better with a couple of other cars.

It's really too bad no one on this forum has the nerve to drive in less than ideal conditions. These cars handle great in wet or dry. If anyone is up for a multi-car (2 or more) run, I'm game.

well now you're trying to use guilt or is it cowardliness in order to coerce people out on a drive? just to set the record straight i drive mine everyday and have driven it everyday since i took delivery 6 months ago. i have no problem driving it in any conditions i have met with so far. my problem with going on any drive with you or anyone else is time. i simply do not have the time now with working 60 or more hours a week. please keep your insinuations to yourself.

You want less than ideal !!!?? TRY GLENDORA RIDGE AT 39-40 some MPH and then seeing a big **** scoobie van flying around a blind corner whem you happen to be on the outside lane on a 1.5 lane road.

Id say thats less than ideal.

Whadda you think????? I guess if i was driving through the beginning of saving private ryan that might even be less ideal.

I dont think ill be doing that since I dont crave death so i think I for one will be sticking to the track and some nice open 2 lane roads lol.

Ill be at the next california speedway speed trials hope to see you there.

Hey, I work more than 60 hrs a week myself. Just sleep less. I'm tellin' ya, sleep is over-rated anyway. I've drivin my 8 every day as well, but now my 7 is starting to complain, so I'll have to let her out to play soon.

did i mention also that i have a wife and a recently purchased house? so i have sunday off from "work" but there is also the honey-do list. not complaining mind you- the house came with a garage that stays nice and toasty because of the furnace and water heater. my silver baby stays warm and dry all night long
