5 people in your car must have thrown off the handling and balance of your car. Next time, just drive by youeself if you want to test your m4d skillz

I drove that road every single day, for two years, four times a day. That turn isnt "notorious" nor does it break funny. Those are great roads, but just in case you were curious, there has been a crack down by motorcycle cops above the hotel. When the turns get longer and there is a clear shot for about an 8th mile, they hide on one of the gravel turn outs between the bushes and a telephone pole and hit you with radar as you come flying down the road. You do not have time to slow down. For you to have been able to get the car that out of control, you were doing something stupid. Dont be stupid on that road, you will loose either your car, license, life... who knows though.. maybe those helmets will protect your passengers.

i drive grizzly peak a lot. Going through school and to tilden golf course. I used to take that thing like a mad man. lol. lots of the marks are from getting my wagon to oversteer. stopped doing it because there really are too many blind turns. My buddy used to clock an average of 60 through most of it. That was in the middle of the night with no cars and an E46. lol.

it's pretty wild. lol. took it home today with a friend. He's... well lets say he shouldn't be following me. It's kinda crazy. I'd recommend staying away from tilden when you wanna drive fast. Nice view though. beautiful out there.

lol...i love all this talk about thinking the original poster is "driving h4rd" when he's really a young tool that didn't learn his lesson the first time, and will likely end up roadpizza if he keeps it up.

good luck with being that stupid, and pray that if you kill your passengers, you go with them, because if you don't, their families are going to own you and your family for the rest of your lives after reading this post.

at least they were wearing helmets so when the car rolls over and smashes all of them, their head will still be nice and pretty hehe, j/k... grizzly peak is soooo fun, I drive it all the time in, but I have bad roll and plow the turns a lil too much, but 5 people... that is too much weight. at least noone is dead...

True, true, I live up there and almost got busted by a bike cop on claremont about 2 months ago. I too have driven that road a lot, since it was on the way to school from my house, and those turns are nothing to be scared of.

i uno. up to you guys. Lets stay away from Skyline. Grizzly Peak is great. I go to school in the Oakland Hills. I take 24 then get off at tunnel road or Fish Ranch Road. Then i take Grizzly all the way through tilden park, steam trains, etc... I end up around lawrence hall, or if i wanan go home i go past inspiration point. Nice drive. I think there is a place on Grizzly around the steam trains that would be a nice spot. Good view.

any of this stuff sound familiar?

btw, my name is jeffrey or jeff .
