there is a group of really cool people that get together about once a month . they take the canyan roads to the beach, have lunch and come back. theres a threed they started in the "west coast " forums. and its called "malibu drive/cruz" or something of that nature, theres pictures of the meets there and even some video. i`ve been once and it was alot of fun, i have no doubt you`ll have a good time

This is the important part about going on aggressive drives, and this is one of our rules that everyone must follow. We line up according to experience and according to speed of driver. First timers usually are in the rear and follow the line and speed/braking of the driver in front of them. In the event you lose the person that is following you, you must slow down until you see them again in your rear view mirror. This is for safety. Once the person following has to play "catch up", this is when bad things can happen. So this is a rule everyone must follow. This is how we have avoided any problems on every drive.

My buddy lost control on stunt and drove his car off a 100 foot cliff, he walked away.

When I went back to look for him, we was on the side of the road like this...


That was my last time there.

there is always traffic. but it's just like kwescott said, and i. never go faster then you feel you can. so don't push it. just enjoy the ride and you'll have fun...

I dont find stunt to be a scary road (unless going down hill with shitty brakes)... decker is somewhat challenging though. My friend slid off down a cliff...

ive been saying im going to go the past half year hah but im eventually going to start going regularly, adictive i forgot to ask, are rx7s allowed? i might be getting a lot of stuff done to the 8 when i start going out with you guys so it may be away for a long time at various times when i start going out and i just feel more comfortable in the 7 because im neurotic about potholes and rockchips.

7's tend not to handle the road as well as the 8's...so you may need to follow Micahel.
