I'm taking mine out, but I'm staying off Deerfoot.

Thorr1987 · 04-23-2011, 03:55 PM

I agree

the posted speed limit is 110km/h

the vast majority of the time you are doing 10km/h

when traffic isn't backed up it becomes the canadian autoban

and there are so many rocks that shoot up at you from out of no where and are the size of your head

I feel for you guys back there. I moved to NC from Sask 4 yrs ago and the roads here are much better on the car. No salt, rocks, grime etc. and can drive year round. I would think the road to Banff would be a nice drive though. I miss the clean air so much, and the heat here in summer is a killer, especially with FI.

Everest · 04-23-2011, 10:35 PM

lol

Well said Kitty! Well said.

dragon22 · 04-24-2011, 11:02 AM

A buddy of mine (in his Shelby) and myself cruised Macleod Trail last night. We got some looks. Played a tiny bit. Got him off the line, but that thing catches up fast when he hooks up. LOL

does anyone meet at deerfoot mall this afternoon??

Kray · 04-24-2011, 12:55 PM

I've been crusing this weekend as well....as far as Deerfoot goes I try to stay in the middle lane...less gravel

vart · 04-24-2011, 01:11 PM

I was out on Friday and yesterday for a bit. I think my wife is taking the car to work today. If she changes her mind I'll be out again. Just random driving, no destination in mind. After having it sit in the garage since the middle of November (the Camaro, not my wife), I'll take any chance I can get to go for a spin.

Everest · 04-24-2011, 06:54 PM

I was all over today. Went through the hood (Forest Lawn) early afternoon then I was on Glenmore going west when another Rally Yellow going east flashed his lights at me. Was in Evergreen late afternoon and a grey came up next to me and we gave each other the wave.

On Friday I was on Southland at Macleod and I flashed my lights at a Red....Orange at the lights going the opposite way. Awesome weekend to go out cruising.

highmark · 04-24-2011, 08:32 PM

Went to Edmonton Sat and came back today. Six radar traps on the way up, 2 on the way back. Saw a black SS with silver stripes stopped at one today north of Reddeer. Nice to finnaly get a run in.

Au contrare mon frare! (or something like that!)
I went for a run east to west on the Yellowhead last week at about 1am on a Sunday night. Rarely a car the whole run and I opened 'er up! I was cruising around town, burning gas with the Tron Legacy soundtrack cranked. On my way home, I passed over the Yellowhead and there wasn't a car to be seen. So what'd I do?? lol

It was awesome!!
