Crossing double yellow is bad (unless it's for avoiding debris or a bicycle, and then only very carefully). It's dangerous in multiple ways. And when you cross, you would be amazed how many bicyclists, motorcyclists, and other drivers will call in complaints and then LE shows up. And then...

any chance i can get that/those picture/s?
I don't get paid for taking these photo (I actually pay a monthly fee to host them) so whatever I don't upload, I don't keep. For customers, I do keep back up even for those shots I don't use.

We are very lucky to have someone so talented with a camera involved with our drives. I was actually wondering today what kind of local storage (as well as on line) you must have to have to support all of this. It really is staggering when one takes a moment to think about it.

I've often wondered about the direction of the wheels. I never realized there was information in the handbook when there were no curbs involved. Nice to see all the information gathered. I learned something today! Love when that happens. Thanks!
Though admittedly, without that understanding, I've never turned my wheels much, but always leave the car in gear when parked (all of the time, every time I park) so have convinced myself (right or wrong) that it isn't as big an issue.
Also, for anyone wondering about the cornering/braking ability of my car, if we have as much free time and open road as we did this month, I'm happy to make an extra run through the Snake while everyone's chit-chatting at the Lookout.
Though based on the F1 schedule, I likely won't be joining for the June drive. Though you can sometimes find me out in the canyons at other random intervals.

Just want to say & quick thanks to Roseanne, Alan, Andrew & everyone participated in the recent eom drive. Very well organized event with map, 2-way radios, detail road instructions, & lunch break :yes: it just can't get better than this unless you at a track or autox. The pics & video are awesome too! when Alan in the lead group stay with the slow group since he's the photographer also I also recommend going through the entire drive as the 2nd half is the best. We had a great time with fellow car enthusiast. Look forward to the next drive.

Just a heads up, all. It's possible that I won't be able to make the June 30th drive due to a work commitment. A client is moving that day and it's my job to make sure their entire computer network is up and running for Monday morning. I'll be in touch with Paul, Alan, Andrew, and those who frequently attend and we can decide if I'm going to skip this one or if we'll change the date either forward or back. The weekend after is right after 4th of July so.... I dunno yet. When we do know, we'll update the initial post in the thread accordingly.
In other news, I have finally put in an offer on a Lotus Elise. We'll see how that goes.
