Are these the only twisties you play in? Honestly, they aren't that great. Germantown would be great naked, but it almost never is. And it's gotten so much attention in the last few years that cops up there aren't exactly a rarity. I've found some good places between Hillsboro/Cornelius and Sherwood/Newberg, but they all pale in comparison to what i've found on the east side between Troutdale and Sandy. That stuff is so good it's worth the drive.

Germantown and Skyline aren't the only twisties I play on they just happen to be the only fun route to and from work. I know a lot of good twisties all through NW Oregon from riding motorcycles but I have yet to repeat them with the Evo. Sherwood/Newberg twisties are great, not a whole lot of traffic, taken it many of times.

Did you get rid of the black rims? Why would you want to do that?
I'm not that great of a driver. I wont be winning any ralies any time soon. But if I could drive your car I'd sure be getting closer. That would be nice! If I could do that I'd write you a tale that would put Penthouse to shame.

and yes, i got rid of the black rims last week. sold em to a gent in boston w/a black evo. i kind of miss em, but i think it's time to move on... thinking about gold or bronze.
i let anyone i trust drive my car; clearly you have more than enough seat time, so if you were around, i'd see no problem w/ tossing you the keys. also remember, just cuz we all own evos doesn't mean we're all fantastic drivers
we just love to drive, which is, IMO, the most important thing to being an enthusiast

You're mean, ya know that? These other guys would have stopped and taken me for a ride. But not you. No, you had to string me along and then leave me hanging. Was I not attractive enough for you? Are you gay? You could see me but I couldn't see you. Do you know how vulnerable that makes me? I'm already weaker, underpowered, inferior,..... you stopped to let me catch up so you can't act like you didn't know. How cruel are you? Did you laugh when I couldn't keep up with you? Do you even live up there or were you just taking me there to screw with me? Ya know, I wrote about you and as a result of it found a lot of really cool Evo guys. People that would have been a lot cooler in the same situation than you were. I can't say i didn't love our experience, but if I could have got in that car i would have loved it a whole lot more.
I still love your car, and I like the way you drive, but I don't know about the rest of you.

That's when I want paddle shifting. I love to grab that knob and all,... I mean, I really love that! But i feel the need for 3 simultaneuous actions and I only have 2 hands. I wish i could get the functionality of the ebrake transfered to a toggle switch on the steering wheel. One that would return to the off position when when it wasn't being moved. So I could just kinda tap it,... flik it. That would be dreamy!
I don't really wanna give up the knob. I love the knob!
