He has a normal, non police spec vic, ive seen its picture of it. But that said, those are the ultimate nfg vehicles.

Also if you watched regular car reviews of the p71, its 15 miles away from me

I had a '03 Grand Marquis, and if you turned traction control off it would light up the passenger side tire easily.

You got a massive upgrade of 224 hp vs 200 in mine. Also yea... :225: can light up with TC off, but who in their right mind would want to do that in this boat.

I was hit head on by a chinese man without a driver's license trying to evade the police. You nailed it I was doing about 40mph. I counted my blessings that I wasn't driving my '93 B2200 that morning

Current gen Toyota Sienna. I sprained or fractured my wrist. I don't remember exactly but I still went to work and welded for a few hours and I don't think it ever fully healed.

They are 10 min from my house currently. No traffic getting there. Anywhere in the bay you can access part of it, as the roads traverse the entire area. Traffic is M-F during "work" hours. :whocares: no one is attempting to go to canyons at that point. Sat/Sun morning is totally fine.
Depends entirely where you live.

Or maybe it was just a SoCal thing. When I lived on the coast, it took FOREVER to get to canyon roads, and traffic was at all hours. 7am on Sunday? There's gridlock traffic on the 405 heading into Santa Monica GUARANTEED. And that's where the best concentration of roads are.
:iono:

There are awesome roads all over CA (other than maybe the :disgust: Central Valley). I've driven quite a few of them, I hit Angeles Crest quite a bit on my last 3-4 week stint out there when I had rental cars, it was a breeze, leave North Hollywood at like 5:30 AM, bomb the road until 9ish, drive back to Pacoima where I was working for 10 AM start. Didn't you live in Long Beach :doe: ? Most of the good roads are def far AF from there. It's funny, I could get to legit mountain roads from Charlotte in equal time as from Long Beach, but it's like 4X the distance.

When I visited LA we had 48 hours to do as much as we could and it was doable. There was traffic but never crazy.

:dat: its also one of my gripes about the area. We have great roads and all, but it requires some driving which something I don’t enjoy doing say every week. But the roads where i took rudy to was :notbad: just much shorter and it can die out fairly quickly, more like a compromise if you will. But I could’ve live in a worse area.

All the epic roads are to the north and west of LA

I lived in LBC then Orange County, there's nothing decent close...MAYBE Ortega Highway, but that's just full of Cleetus meth heads driving to Lake Elsinore.

The most epic was when I lived in the valley and worked in Westlake Village (RIP). I could take the Malibu roads to and from work if I wanted. Was awesome.

:word:

If I LAed I would live in the Valley, slightly cheaper rents, more space, closer access to mountain roads and hiking and shit. :aintcare: about the beach, if I wanted to go, I'd just head down early AF on weekend mornings.

Fukushima swallows struck again, removed it by the time I got home from work. And now I have two etched spots just like with my 370z. And this had ceramic coating too.

This ladies and gents is why if you daily your car it will eventually get ruined

What coating do you have on it?

I had similar issues on the exposed carbon roof on the Z06 from a massive bird shit that sat on it in the summer sun all day. I washed it using Carpro Reset and it was still there, so I figured it was going to need a polish. The next day I drove it to work and left it in the sun again, then drove over to my friend's detail shop to have him take a look. By the time I got to his shop the stains were completely gone as if they were never there. CQuartz Finest claims they have healing properties and it worked for me as if by magic by leaving the car out in the sun.

CQuartz I believe, I was able to use some polishing compound to get 95% of it out. Given the weather we had so far I haven’t seen any heat just yet.
