If you find more than 3 cars other than yourself, you can lead and count me out. I've done the 30-car caravans, and they're a pain in the a**, people somehow don't listen to directions and get lost, you have to stop and wait for the people who didn't read the "We leave at x:xx SHARP", and then you'll have craploads of complaining from people who didn't understand the route would take them all day.

Have fun with that. If you want a nice drive with people who don't concern themselves about time/mileage/gas usage, then keep the group small.

novacaine454: You might want to consider editing you post... when did it become acceptable to publicly advertise the roads on which you regularly speed? You might be doing us all a great disservice here.

Was that you in the Dodge Viper I was driving with, or the BMW 328i which was tailgating it from the 92 south to Palo Alto?

Well i was thinking 3 people 4 MAXMAX. Like the one you guys did this week And I know more than 4 cars becomes a pain since you have to cater to everyone needs and not everyone is down to spend a whole day driving since they are just use to driving on a fun road for 10-15 mins and not a few hours.

I guess I just misunderstood the statement "As many people as possible..." to mean more than 3 to 4 people MAX. Sorry for the confusion.

wow...really dude? You're the reason motorcycles get creamed on that road, flying up on the back of slower traffic (which is assumed since it's "YOUR PERSONAL RACETRACK). I hope the local LEOs cream you for it.

I've met a few CHP that would love to sit out there for a Subaru.

SideNote: Roo.. Your drive looked like a good bit of fun. The still photos made me cringe when I opened the thread, since the doubleyellow cross. But, since I know it wasn't the SF... nothing against you for setting up a clean drive. Not the typical BAiC upsidedown STi drive or anything.
