Just took a drive out to bear mountain and the surroundings on sunday. Havent been up there in 3 years and forgot what i missed. The drive was great and hopefully someone will set something up this spring and maybe have a photo shoot up at the overlook.:)

You hit up those twistie, right?

Man, last summer I saw a Yamaha R1 FLYING through those!

Remember, Park Police with radar are everywhere:alright up there.

there is a mountain that you can drive to the top and its a scenic over look outside of albany that is also a state park, my uncle got a ticket for a 32 in a 30! lol one time i was goin thru with my gf, and i pulled over to eat my ice cream ( it was at night) and all od a sudden there is this huge spot light on my car, a cop was right across the street and he comes running over as if im like planting a bomb and im like dude im eating ice cream chill out hes like alright. well finish it and get goin!

Thatcher State Park. I was always warned about 1-5 MPH over tix there when I was in college and would do EXACTLY the speed limit on my sportsbike.

Know that whole view of Albany from there? It's an ancient sea bed. Ever check out the Indian Ladder Trail there. Fossils everywhere!

thats why the pine bush area has all teh sand and pine trees cuz it was all a huge beach, ok im done being a dork now hehe

Sounds like fun...I can't wait for spring.
Last fall I went on a backroad drive and it was a lot of fun. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=434930&highlight=backroad+drive
I'm sure they're going to be more once the weather gets better.

yeh, i cant wait for summer. I dont see many cops up there, i dont drive too crazy(35-45mph) its just so much fun, though my girl thought she was gonna die:lol . It was relly nice weather for the drive i'm glad i went, really cleared my head. Damn i love this car. Maybe this summer we set something up for that mountain with the ALBANY view?????? I'm in, in advance.:D

Whats up Z? Yeh i know, spring is so close i can taste it. Oh by the way, i ended up going to Detailing Dynamics to get a price for the clear paint protector and damn i might end up doing it myself. He showed me a M3 that he just finished, and it looked nice, but to do it all(front bumper, hood, side fenders,side skirts would cost about $1k+. I got a copy for your car, which is cheaper for some reason. Next time your around i'll give it to you. Peace.....

It ain't cheap but if your car is freshly painted, it might be a good investment to keep that fresh look. You can check this out as an alternative. http://www.invinca-shield.com/ I got a pre-cut kit from them that was pretty good. You gotta have a lot of patience to put it on or just have someone install it for you. I had it on my old bumper but it didn't protect it against the curb:D
