Cool My Drive to work - Slideshow

I've had these pics forever and didn't realize how neat it was to watch in a slideshow.

This is the road I take to work everyday. It's an old country road that saves me about 40 miles a day

You can clearly see why I traded my celica in for an EVO over a year ago

A month latery I get my own nice cam (coolpix 5700) and here are a couple vids (more coming)

All vids are divx5.11

That would be a great rally course. you need to runit one of these days ***** out if it is safe and record. Have a navigator record it for you!!! It would be awesome to tape!!

I'm getting a nice cam for christmas so if I can find a mount i'd make a video.

It's hard to really open up the throttle because you can't see very far I could probably do a decent run with some walkie talkies and someone ahead of me.

It's really a lot of fun in the winter but it's extremely dangerous.

The hell with the ducks, did you see the wheel bending, car swallowing pot holes? There was one in the middle of the road that looked like a small crater.

Celicas can handle well too...not as well as an evo, but you make it sound like the celica is an F-body or something.

Oh It's been paved since then. It's now tarmac(blacktop) with lots of small gravel everywhere.

Whats sux is some ******* that lives out there dumps his gutted deer in the middle of the road from time to time. It's pretty gross.. I've seen a dog walking down the road with a deer leg in it's mouth lol. It makes for a pretty interesting commute.

It's also a lot more fun in the fall/winter months... you can see a lot better with all the leaves gone

Yah the Celica handled pretty nice.. I had a Tein coilover setup. I had a few near death experiences hitting gravel/dirt/snow too fast as well as tranny issues so I decided to trade her in.
