That's not trash! That's all the worldly belongings of those people ;) And they even have the industrial version of a Direct TV dish, right Gio?

WOW!! That was stressful just watching. I need a massage now. That dude was on the edge the entire time, and a couple times I thought he'd lost it.

Hey Mike, I've got a new strategy for the pimpmobimmer: instead of hassling with flaring the fenders to get tire clearance, just lift it!

Atleast the scariest corrections were usually under 80mph.
I'm kinda disappointed by the acceleration. I figured that car would have more power than need everywhere... Yet it didn't climb that fast. I've seen my Neon's speedo climb nearly as fast 90 to 130. The lap time was certainly good and I'm assuming OEM tires. But still I thought it would have a little more OH MY GOD acceleration. Hate the hill that makes the car jump OVER the brake zone.... Yikes. I think the ring might be the ultimate test of shocks. Scares the heck out of me!

Apparently that's one of the hot areas for photogs to hang out, cuz people screw up often there.

I knew there was a reason I avoid the 110 and 101 like the plague. Kinda surprised the 405 wasn't more prominent.
