No that was earlier - didn't have the camera rolling for your walk of shame... unfortunately
Phew! What can I say - being a passenger clearly isn't my thang.

reserving for metro's video footage, as already mentioned by daktruckie above, should have some time this weekend to get it on the internets.

My passenger posted this one up on youtube. On sunday (with a full trunk ) we got a traffic free run from the overlook all the way to fugitive bridge. The first, and probably last, time I'll get this experience during the day. It was a pretty good run, despite the heavy rear end...

Hated that I missed Club FCPD this year; time was too close to getting dinner and registration ready. Next time for sure!

metro's video links are on the first page (and below), it didn't like when i used the [youtube] tag so you will have to follow the links.

edit: thank you topgear for the hint

sweet, i like that angle a lot. are we attached to daktruckie's lip?

did you all make more than one run that day? i passed you when I was headed to the overlook & you were headed back to the state line, but I haven't seen myself in the video. also, never noticed a trooper at all during that drive (one has a white s2k pulled over around the 5 min mark).

EDIT - nevermind, just realized part 2 is continuation of the drive from deal's gap up to the overlook. i passed you all headed the other direction

very cool, yes this is the video with the camera mounted on the front lip. it's amazing we didn't get any wind noise, we were all in awe watching it at the halfway hotel.

Cool vid.
That guy in the black sedan was doing very well considering the kind of car it is.
