Ran Mt Hami today
Took my my05 stocker wrx through the paces today over Mt Hamilton. Found a few things that I need to change, namely getting a set of rims/tires. It was a great drive, and I recommend it to everyone who can contain themselves over the very small lanes and many blind corners. Got my fiance carsick and gave her a headache... at least she didnt puke! 
Saw a couple of other performance rides, but no other Suby's. Maybe next time!
Be careful out there!

I've done hammy during the day. All 80 miles of Mines Rd Glory.
I've done hammy at night. Its trippy when its 30 deg outside and you dont realize it because youre lost in the motion.

I've been driving that rd for the last (gosh... has it been !?!) 15 years. I agree, very track like in places! Best ride, 2:30 am with THICK fog! I mean Pea-soup thick!
Lots of great little places along that road! Always a challenge.

You dont have to drive like a maniac, Michael. Believe it or not, first time I drove that road (back in HS) it scared me ****less... and I was going like 20mph the entire time. hahah

I went to the mountain today for the first time with my buddy in his blue STI and man that was a great ride look forward to doing it again......the best part though was whenever we came across another subie they were giving out peace signs and such.....really felt the tightness of the subaru world.
