Whoa, Andrew and Aaron are back! They rolled into town with the Accord and the coupe is still representing. The twisties to the summit kick ass, there are plenty of 180 degree tite, real-tite, turns and plenty of variations in road conditions to keep you on the heel-toe. While Aaron and Shaun kicked back behind with the plush ride equipped with beat, Kohta (with Andrew sitting shotgun) and I battled it out on the tarmac. I hammered my car into a quick S-turn and then into a 180 degree and got the rear locked up with the wheel in the air. Pulled out in 2nd hard - beautiful. Those Yokohama Parada's were sticky and relentless, but I should have firmed up the Koni Sports to give max rebound. Hatchbacks love to hit the twisties. Real driving found here - not on a straight flat track with the gas pinned to the floor.

    I have to say that this 8-mile drive is a rewarding one comparable to the Stinson Beach drive. Both drives have epic ending destinations - ones a beach and ones a summit point where you can see everything 360 degrees around. Here are some pix that Shaun and I took:
