Mook gave me shit in the other thread about not really being able to take advantage of a car that handles well versus a car that handles just ok on a day to day basis. Well today I pulled my GoPro out of the box for the first time in the 8 months I've had it and took some footage to play with it.
This is leaving my neighborhood and then at the 1 minute mark I'm turning onto Mulholland. Mulholland is the road that runs along the top of the Hollywood Hills. It's also where a lot of people in the city go to flog their cars. At any given moment I can pull out and have a roofless Ford Econoline tour van hold me up or a Lamborghini Aventador come flying up my ass. My best run was with an Ariel Atom which is every bit as ridiculous looking on a street as you would expect.
This road goes on like this for about 8 miles and you'll be lucky to be going straight for more than about 100 feet at a time. So the better handling your car the more fun the road is.
Video notes: action starts at a minute in and only lasts for 30 seconds because the camera died. Special cameo from the Viper I spoke about here. It's been sitting there for as long as I've been coming to Los Angeles, covered in dust with faded cardboard plate inserts on it.
