Anyone see this guy on the Dragon?

Guy in the S2000 said that the guy in the Scoobie lives approximately 6 miles north
of Deal's Gap.

Where were some of the other parts shot? I haven't seen that tunnel around Deal's Gap.
Looks like one of the Blue Ridge Parkway tunnels.
Don't know exactly.
That one may have been the one used in "the fugitive".

Looks like the same car but this guy spent less time on the yellow line than the other vid shows. [U]
at 1:37 and 1:51 he goes completely in the other lane to keep up with the S. At 1:54 2 bikes come from the other direction. What an ass hat...

What a total dick! :sweetj:

Be kinda fun to blow up the picture of his car at the end of the video, and make a "wanted" type poster out of it.


WANTED!!

(insert white Subaru pic)

For being a total ASSHAT!

This guy should stick to videos! The video is quite good, I'll give him that. His style of driving is nothing but Moronic! Although I saw worse when we were at the Dragon last month. A G35 Coupe and a new Saleen or Roush prepared Mustang were crossing the line a lot. I let them pass and then stayed with them to watch them force a Honda Accord off the road! Not cool! I slowed to see if they were alright. They were. The 2 stopped at Deal's Gap and people were about to go talk to them but they left in a hurry as soon as they saw people approaching them. Killboy had some photos of them.

I think I met those guys near the overlook. They were overdriving those cars. Glad they stayed on their side till they passed me.

lol, I love how his video highlights what a shitty driver he is. That's classic. Good thing he gave a nice shot of his car at the end so we know who to look out for next time we are there. Beware the white scooby, he is the worst kind of driver, one that thinks he is good but in reality is borderline retarded...


Coulda been a cool video. Too bad he has no concern for the other people on the road.

That road is way too small to be crossing the line.

What's the point of driving on such a great twisty road if you're just going to straighten out 95% of it?!

Those are two different car in the vids. The first one is an older WRX. The second one is a 04-05 STI. Look again and check out the headlights. Both cross the double yellow. I can't really say too much. I crossed it big time at SESM this past summer. It's even on video somewhere.


That first video (it was well done) pissed me off. It shows the clips of motorcycle fatalities at the gap, then shows a crash scene, then cuts straight to the ass driving right in the middle of the road! IDIOT!
