    I just did Old Topanga Canyon over the weekend at 11 pm (didn't want traffic), never done GMR.

    Depending on the weekend, I'd be down to come with this:

    I have been to GMR many times on my bike. I would love to join if I could get time off from work. I would recommend going on a weekday and not the weekend, there is much less traffic, if any. Also, I would not recommend Glendora Ridge Road, which connects GMR to Mt. Baldy as it is about 1.5 lanes wide with no center line painted and tends to have more gravel/debris on the road.

    I think that's 15hp more than Lwize's Insight was making the last time we did a canyon run.

    Only 2 more HP, and I had more torque. It was the damn CVT that slowed things down, and it wasn't my fault I led the pack -- not once but twice! All you ninnies in your red Oddies not stepping to the fore!

    And the Insight's been gone more than a year. I have a Rabbit now, with a fresh CEL...

    I will make a personal effort to 1) register the M3, 2) install the rollbar and 3) buy and install suspension.

    July 7th is also two days before my birthday.

    You'll get nothing and like it. Plus, you still owe me a mcmuffin to replace the one I purchased that you consumed at the meet where we went to the Mullin Museum.
    how come a transvestite donkey witch is next to you and why is it wearing a dress?

    Keeping GTI. Apparently, no one wants to buy a Mk2 16V that doesn't pass CA smog.... go figure I may bring the minivan for giggles & if I have babysitting duties. Also, apparently 120 torqs is not enough to keep me alive going uphill ..... but then my minivan has vtec..... so I guess I'm dead either way
