Default HWY 9 Runs!!

this last weekend i went i on a drive because i just put on the new suspension goodies (tanabe df210's, progressive tech sway bar, tanabe front strut strut bar). I naturally picked my favorite road, HWY 9 in Saratoga. i was rather suprised at how much fun these cars are to drive. I have had many cars in my short time driving and enjoy driving windy roads byt none have brought my as much pleasure as this car. I am hooked. I recommend this road to everyone who has access to it!! Thanks for listening to my bable!! See you on the road!!

Jamie
p.s. watch out for the cops, they are everywhere up there!!!

Good road but the cop situation has always been bad up there like you saw...plenty of smaller unpopulated roads in that area if you take some time to explore!

yes lots of twisties, and alot of them are long sweepers which are the most fun, in my opinion. Can also be dangerous so everyone please do not drive past your limits. I have lost 2 friends on that road (R.I.P. jason and andy!!).
