Headed out for Deal's Gap right now(UPDATED WITH PICS post#10)

Im driving to Phila. tonight and i decided making a trip through the great smokey mountains is well worth the adventure.

changed my oil and am ready to drive 1300+miles one way(26-2800 total in about 3-4 days. this should be exciting.

for reference if people do not know what Deal’s Gap is:

why does one of the camera positions show flames shooting out of the wheel - fender gap? in the last quarter of the vid

Don’t get arrested. I’ve heard they’re cracking down…

I went back in the spring. It was amazing!

it was INFUCKINGCREDIBLE. i made 3 passes 2 going north and 1 going south.

my second northern run was made in about 16 minutes. which is pretty damn good.

LOTs of pictures to be coming from www.us129photos.com and when i can get back to my cpu to upload some.

and coming down the mountain my Current Consumption of gas was 99.9MPG

and i know the photos blow. but the light was terrible and my point and shoot digital elph can only do so much.

hope you enjoyed.

I HIGHLY recommend driving US129 and the surround byways. some of the best mountain runs you can have. do it mid week tho. i had barely any traffic and what i did have pulled over to let me pass.

nice pics chris… i like that spoiler, did you always have that??

yea. the whole car is completely stock minus some stuff i removed(vinyl on door frames and trim on center of doors to protect from door dings) and added like the rain guards/tints.

other than that this is a completely stock speed3

looks like a blast
