That part of Mulholland Hwy. SUCKS...

The "Real" Mulholland starts from PCH which turns into "Mulholland Raceway" aka Stunt, Piuma, Dry Canyon/ Cold Creek...

I hope you don't speed on old Mulholland...

Karma for Mr. Sheen, for beating his wife....or someone just tired of his behavior towards women.

Al,

I must admit, there are some KILLER roads in your part of the woods. Me likey highway 23 (among others) personally

BTW - Great link with shots of the brand new Conti Speed GT "hangin out" at the bottom of the canyon

Doesn't look that messed up for a car that took that kind of ride...

The answer to this mystery is simple. Charlie Sheen was fooling around with Elin Nordegren Woods and she chased him out of the house with a nine iron when she found out he was married. Obviously Charlie is a better driver than Tiger cuz he at least got out of the driveway without hitting a tree.

I wouldn't want to try my newly flashed TT on day like today. Lots of rain. Sunday... I bet it feels like an eternity.

Given that my car is RWD at the moment, it doesn't even come out of it's hole on days like this.

The news dude says Charlie got a call from onstar about his car being crashed. Since when does Mercedes have onstar. Also when it doubt of the hood you park in, always leave your keys in the ignition.

I personally love the Malibu canyons. But very little room for error up there.

Ari, I do feel a little itch to try it out, but it isn't too bad. Which is a good thing because the next storm is going to roll in within the next 3 hours. I think a higher power sent me a message to that extent anyway, as my when I left to work my EPL flash was read to be uploaded, but when I came home from work last night it was mysteriously gone....

On another note, I think Dan from Speed Gallery may have tried to sell me your K24s. Don't know if you asked him to try to hawk them for you, but when I was there a month or two ago he mentioned that he was doing a gt28 swap on an X50, and might have some spare turbos. Thought about it, but figured I would go the k16/hybrid or gt28 route when the time was right. SG did that same setup on my pals car and he loves it. Told me that if I was already doing a swap and put in the 24's, he wouldn't talk to me anymore..

As for the OnStar, yep, all new BMWs and Benzes have it. I think they call it something different but contract with OnStar to provide the service.
