All I can say is two things..one, thank god for traction control 
...and two, I thought I had my seat heater on the entire time, then realized it was adrenaline that was heating my seat.
As for the roads, there is an abundance of choices there. I was really impressed. Every turn brought us to another wicked series of corners and some down hill straights where we were able to hit 100 plus, then down shift quickly to third and hang on for a series of rights, lefts and a couple that seemed like double u-turns. Wow.
Weather was cool, but sunny. Traffic was extremely light. We lucked out as most of the traffic was motorcycle traffic and they always seemed ot be going in the opposite direction. I think there was only two occassions where we caught up to any traffic on our side of the road, but they pulled over so we could pass.
A definate must do (again)...maybe next month. To be honest, it was kinda nice to have a small group. It was less to keep track of, so we could focus on the roads....beasue there was plenty to keep us busy. Thinking about it, we didn't see a single cop, or park ranger....But we did get a few "thumbs up" as we passed...that was cool.
Oh, and there was an Ariel Atom up there as well. Some of you who have Project Gotham Racing may know about this. It is basically an open-cockpit car with a sporty little 4-cyclinder...very cool.
Sorry about pics...I won't be able to add any as mine are on a good old fashion take it down to Savons for developing kind...I'm still waiting for my digital which I bought a couple weeks ago online.

2010 Prius - Miss the 8
Expensive taste? Look at Xdeed's HUGE list of HKS stuff... That's more money than Adict has put into his 8 :P
I'll tell one of my clients about the ride next time. He lives near Malibu, owns a Ferrari Modena and a Saleen S7. Daily driver is a K8. :P

Lets settle down with the Project Gotham list of cars to make debuts at our next Malibu event. There should be another one planned, whenever Adict wants to play pacecar again. I'm up for that run every week. Maybe get a Torreto special at Neptune's Net next time I got Fast and Furious flashbacks as we entered the driveway on Sunday.
I think keeping the lineup to 7's and 8's would be appropriate, anything more than that I don't think I would want to come....horsepower envy

I would suggest a week or two off...put out another definate date and time. Give some people some time to commit it to their calendars so it is not last minute. I may suggest Saturday as a better day, or do you think Sunday is better as it gives us lighter traffic? I will invite some of the San Bernardino guys...I know they were hoping for more of a notice for next time. Our next San Bernardino meet is May 14th...so maybe not that same weekend. Just some thoughts.
