Title: Calling all car guys...
Post by: XavierMace on August 26, 2013, 01:43:53 PM
Did a Tortilla Flat's run with some guys over the weekened.  We are planning another one once it cools down a bit.  Had 8 cars for the last one, looking to be over a dozen for the next one.  Anyone on here interested?

Anything built after 1973 is a appliance, not a cool car...

Sounds like an old guy in denial.  :p

That said, the two guys that meet your standards dropped out.   Not sure if I should read more into that.

What exactly is this?  It sounds like a nice drive up a fun road, and if that's what you've got going on I'd definitely be in!

Well, we haven't had a car over the cliff yet, but I guess there's a first time for everything.

It's even been out to MTT, though it did lose its front bumper in the wash one time. That was an unpleasant day.

All kidding aside, it does really bug me when I see nothing but pristine trucks that never get used.

Had a chat with my old Captain when he bought a Hummer H3, was asking what he liked to do with his spare time, and if he was into offroading, or what, that justified the purchase of such an off-road capable fuel guzzler.

He replied, "golf".

The Mustang Cobra might give you a run for your money in that regards.  Kenne Bell Blower, 640whp.

I used 1/3 of a tank of gas just on the trip up and back to tortilla flats... damn all those N/A motors.. boost is like a gasoline black hole.
Title: Re: Calling all car guys...

I used like.... 1/4 tank.  Although I made the trip twice.

Like I said, may be doing another one at the end of this month.

Civic was the closest one to doing a cliff dive.
Title: Re: Calling all car guys...
Post by: carbon14c on October 10, 2013, 06:05:50 PM
I'll have to find the video, but I was referring to the kid that rolled his 3 series down the side of one of the sharper turns.... LOL.

I can bring a few people out too, flats runs are always good
Title: Re: Calling all car guys...
Post by: XavierMace on October 10, 2013, 10:31:17 PM
Hold off on inviting other people please until I have a head count.  Not looking to have 20-30 cars out there.

Being a motorcycle rider who frequents that road seeing all those lane crosses both those tools did would definitely earn them a kicked in face.

Well this thread looks cool....

Won't be back in AZ til Dec 13th or so, but had been planning a Tortilla flats run with my brother and other of my car buds.

You guys frequent the Pavillions car show much? McDonald's on Indian Bend and the 101.

Funny someone mentioned the guy who drove the BMW off the cliff. I know the group he rolls with and the guy in the chase car in the video.

Hey Keenan i have a MS6 not sure how much you know about our platform and dont want to blow this thread up with info lol but you MUST have HPFP internals before DP esp a catless one. a lot of ppl went "zoom zoom boom" due to that.

I'm currently learning to tune myself with the AP and am fully "bolted" etc.. my car hates me lol. shoot me a pm if you want and i can give you links answer questions etc.
