First time i went there with my friend in his lancer. It was crazy because the fog was so thick and scary because i wasnt the one driving. Second time i went up there with my friend and his SRT4. He went really slow because FWD cars cant turn haha plus he didnt want to crash. Third time i went in an old 89 camry and raced my friend in his 69 bug. a bunch of my friends were in both of our cars so the cars were pretty heavy. my friend took one turn too fast and spun out and almost drove off the cliff. i passed him up and took the next turn too fast and crashed into the side of the cliff. no damage done just a blown tire. anybody gone in an altima?? i havent driven up there yet with mine because im too scared about damaging it lol.

Yea, I've gone up there but in my '06 Sedan when I had it.

Isn't that place supposed to be haunted?

I make trips over there once in a while when im bored.

took my altima up there once but took it slow because im not familiar with the turns yet, and because on a few of the turns there is alot of debris and i didnt want to fly off the edge.

my friend almost did fly off though in his camaro, he is not the greatest driver but pretends to be, its gonna bite him in the a$s pretty soon.

and another friend in his xb which it seems like youre going pretty fast but youre not so i guess thats good

I think there's also 'Gravity Hill' and this house on 'Skyline Drive'. I haven't found that hill yet. I might be confusing it with the one by The Haunted Forest in Pasadena.

We should make our next meet there.

Theres a Gravity Hill and Skyline Drive in Corona. I think they took Gravity Hill out though. And I'm not sure about Skyline, I never went up there. But I have driven by and theres a giant gate there, sometimes open, sometimes closed.

Good read on Turnbull Canyon. The second result in a google search will find you a better read. Didn't post it though cuz it's another car forum.

The gravity hill I was talking about. My bad, it's in Altadena, not Pasadena.

And the haunted forest.
