they shouldnt have been out there in my opinion... it was wet and sketchy on my way out. While going the speed limit on the way out the car was trying to break loose on some of the turns for me. soon after that i saw the blue z in the ditch.

it was cold out too. As soon as we heard we headed up there in a blue raptor because we were told Bob might not be going to the hospital. It was 25 miles including the dragon. I kept it at a steady controlled pace. Was a pretty epic ride in that thing

Did they go off in Gravity Cavity or something? the car looked too clean to have taken a dive on the far side.

they went off a little more than 2 miles passed the overpass coming from the state line. They were headed down to where it opens up next to the river.

Car stepped out in straight section of the road. It must of his something wet or some oil in the road or something. He had made the same 2-3 shift 1000 times over the weekend without issue.

Car was so clean too. One of my favorite GTRs ever

Im game for nighttime runs its really the only time thats not completely packed with traffic. I do not push it hard at night though.

I rode with Johnathon who is one of killboys photographers in his 350z last year. He can run it top to bottom at night with no lights on

We used a portable light to "paint the car" while the shutter was open which helps it pop like you see. That's my unprofessional explanation though lol

I would find a cloaking device so no one sees me driving a tween girls car.

Videos of me stomping a hole in that Frs ass with a minivan will be posted as "soon as i get some miles on my clutch."
