Gmr

Just wanted to see how many people here go up to the Glendora Mountain Road. I go up pretty regularly and chase down the idiots that go up there with riced out civics and integs...even an occational WRX, 240, and a TwinTurbo RX-7 who only had the low end turbo running XDDD.

If not GMR, go ahead and post your favorite canyon road and share your driving experiences ^_^.

lol the fd rx7 without the second turbo kick is REALLY slow. my friend had one at about 350whp @10psi and when its 2nd turbo had problem engaging, it was like the slowest thing i ever drove.

but no, i never go up to GMR, maybe i will one day just to have a look.

well, the cops recently had a bust up there and they've been going up there during times when the ricers usually pack it up there. but we go up on days that's usually pretty empty and during hours when ricers are home sleeping.

Well, regulars still go up there. Joe doesn't go up there as often anymore due to....something LOL. But yea, GMR will never be lonely there will always be people going up there, be it bad ass drivers or idiots with i/h/e that think they're hot shit
