Let's start a west coast tradition!!!!!
Ok so we on the west coast have read and groaned at how great reading is and how it's the mecca of SVX ownership.
I propose that in March of next year, we do Death Valley to Mammoth. Yep for those in the know, this is the original route that the John Lamm took with the SVX in Road and Track's Guide to the New Subaru SVX. Here is a link to the route. http://www.mapquest.com/mq/10-9tZrJ8AgWEXG32jiZU9o here is the link to the article. http://www.svx-iw.com/svxiw/road_track/ pages 82 to 94 If nothing else, I know I can get two SVXi to retrace the route next year. So let's make it happen and give those East coasters something to drool over. BW Last edited by s'ko; 04-24-2009 at 09:02 AM. |

Re: Let's start a west coast tradition!!!!!
I could do with that.
The location is relatively not that far away for me. Although, in the wrong direction, I think I could live with that. And it would be cool to drive the test route, for "Old Days" info.

Hmmm.. Sound like I might be able to do something like that seeming how I'm only bout a 5-6 hour drive from there.... Also I've never seen Vegas so maybe I'll take a double vacation.

Re: Let's start a west coast tradition!!!!!
Speaking of having fun... any one ever try highway 49 just north west of Nevada City? Definitely a fun drive if you like to play around corners... My brother and I ate up the front brakes on my SVX last trip on that road. Was definitely worth though.

I may be up for it, depending on when and where.

Re: Let's start a west coast tradition!!!!!
How about 49 between Auburn and Placerville? When I was in kindergarten we were coming back from Lake Tahoe and Dad decided to take 49 since it was way shorter than going all the way to Sacramento on US-50 and then back up to Auburn on I-80. I was in the back seat of Dad's 85 Mercury Marquis (His buddy from work tried to convince him to buy a Subaru, but his vision of Japanese cars had been tainted by his 75 Civic wagon) and Dad was screamin around corners trying to get back to my school for a meeting that evening... well, we ended up being late cuz I all over the back seat
