VespaGTS Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I know I am! Its a good way to get out of the house and enjoy some back road driving. But then again I am in Central Oregon, so it's never too busy. Just looking for the positives in all this negative stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJS2023 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yeah I’m definitely enjoying the clear roads during all of this. Not sure if I’m driving harder then normal though. I’ve got that lead foot issue. ————————————————— HPS intake, SSD Front Strut bar, Cusco Rear Strut Bar, Voxx 18” rims, More to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NORULZleggy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 emtpy roads driving game. the highway number is now the speed limit......go. Ahhh I need a TT UGR Lambo to take highway 250 . I am stuck at home working each day with the kids. I can't go out much cause I have been on immune suppression meds for 8 years, a heavy dose . keeps me alive though.

lilredwagon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 That wouldn't be much fun for me - I'd hop on the 5 and go... 5. Then I'd eventually get to the 2 and go 2. But for me, it's less about the decreased traffic, which there is a HUGE difference, but more about how cheap the gas is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I posted this in the WDYD thread already, but I drove to Bear Mountain and Harriman State Park last Thursday for a cruise with a buddy. Lots of on camber hair pin turns, saw a lot of motorcycles enjoying themselves out there as well. Have to be considerate since there are hikers as well though. I have a list of roads in the Northeast that I want to hit up, if you guys have anything to add please let me know. I have a pet project where I want to record great driving roads, hopefully it will come to fruition sometime this year. Still need to dial in the wagon a little more. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Got an offer to drive a stage2 lgt from seattle to philadelphia, all expenses paid. It was cheaper than shipping and faster. Not my fastest trip ever, but fun nonetheless Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t speeding either, just driving hard, in 5th, winding it out. I swear officer the tailwind was amazing! Almost everyone is staying home after 6pm. So I went for a cruise. I guess more than anything it puts the feeling of control back into my life. Be well you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) pennsylvania turnpike in a lgt was plenty fun. Not saying i was speeding, but 5th gear winds out really nice over dozens of miles I’ve driven across this state countless times. The turnpike is good, but we have some GREAT rural roads (turn a 4 hr drive into a 9 hr drive) that are twisty and narrow, and absolutely gorgeous AT THE RIGHT TIME OF YEAR. If we could host a rally it would be fantastic. Somerset to Bedford on rt30 at sunrise in 3 & 4 of my 6MT stg 3 LGT (365/415) was one hell of a ride.

If we could host a rally it would be fantastic. If I hadn't had a prepurchased plane ticket, I'd taken a different route. The turnpike was a great experience. I found a few other drivers with similar views on throttle position and we had a good time. Got in soon enough to check out Philly before catching my plane.

Turns out I have driven it while en route from Baltimore to Chicago. Unfortunately it was in a Suburban with a co-pilot who braked late and at every apex. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleides Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Nah, I'm driving much the same. Maybe 5 MPH more on the freeway since that's the general moving speed of traffic on there now, but it would I'm not gonna be super reckless amidst a world crisis.

boxkita Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Followed a Lamborghini onto the freeway this morning. No amount of wishing makes a wrx in the same class as a Lamborghini driver with no traffic or cops in sight.

VespaGTS Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I did a 278 mile loop out in the middle of no place. Usually it’s full of RVs and motorcycles. Hundreds of corners in canyons and along the John Day River. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I was just about to ask for the route - thanks for sharing. I did a loop on Friday, mostly overcast and a few flurries. It was great to get out of the city.
