Email me about that or start a new thread. We've had two so so SoCal meets in the OC. My suggestion for the next was s drive up to Malibu, but SD would be nice too. Especially since speed contests on the 15 won't be exceeding the speed of traffic

Because the flow of traffic is around 90-100...That's why.

It also happens to be a 10 lane, fairly straight HWY, with decent sized shoulders.

Here's an average pix

sounds alot like I-94 through Detroit. Last time i headed up there, I was doing 95 in an Escalade, and was getting passed by cops and old ladies. It was insane. I guess DPD couldn't be bothered.

So to say that someone who was actually at or under the speed limit yet going with the flow is street racing. Hypocrisy.

1. It is a really nice drive, The views are great!

2. It is a blast to drive, I was only in my Jeep but still a lot of fun. I had that thing sailing on the down hills LOL

3. No places for the PO PO's to hide lol

i didnt touch those photos. i only photoshop if im going to print, and thats just to adjust the light and saturation. as you see, is the camera with the stock 18-55mm lens. I have a much much much faster lens on order. those pics would be much much sharper with this new lens. but alas. let me know if i can help at all.
