hrm, it would appear that painting your car the same color as the leaves has the same effect as magnets repelling one another.

another secret benefit of JVAB green?

This is old but still so good.
Can you keep that flat and keep control over something that rough?

Yep. But look again and pay attention to how narrow the road is.
That's really impressive in light of how narrow and rough it is.

We here average similar SS average speeds..

But we're on veritable freeways.
Last time I drove some roads that were SS in Sweden, I about shat myself that the trees were flapping at the mirrows in the woods, and when going along where its fields and pastures, how close the CHEST DEEP ditches were---on both sides.

My friend whose house we were going to said "John what the fawk? You've driven this road 2000 times back before you ever knew what rally was and we never squawked...what's the deal now?"

Before I was not THINKING what would happen, now I KNEW what a slight error would cost...

To answer your question, yes, I've done it many times at the Thurston County ORV Park. On the other hand, that video scared the shit out of me.

In a Starlet. He wasn't going for a fast stage time, he was ONLY trying to keep the back of the car from passing him. Godam thing was trying to spin out as soon as he put it in gear. Shit there prolly are donut tracks on his service area tarp....talk about driving under the incentive program!
I ain't dissin on Starlets. I like my cars tailhappy, and this is a particularly angry ADHD example of one...

go here:tall pines - look for peanut

look for Peanut videos, even in winter its rough.
Feel sorry for you guys and your freeways.
Voyageurs had a REALLY narrow road taken at a high rate at night, looked like driving into a hedge for miles on end.
Black Bear grew over so the bushes scrape the sides of the car but the stalks were a foot or two back so it wasn't as bad as it seemed.

Maybe it's just as well my car's been a hangar queen lately. That's an alarmingly fast stage, that is...
