In that one run you were definitely hauling the mail.
Nice clip.
Thanks! My back tires hate me because my right foot slips about 50% of the time I'm accelerating through 2nd if no one is around. 3rd is usually hit-or-miss in the traction department too but that road was hooking decently that day.

There's no shortage of straight country roads out here with no one on them. Unfortunately, our supply of twisty roads with no one on them is about non existant due to development. There are several twisty fun roads going through orchards out here I used to love ripping through daily but they're now off limits by my own criteria-- because they now have new houses built on them, and every house seems to have been built smack in the middle of the most likely "run off trajectory" if you botch the turn. Not gonna risk becoming the centerpiece of someone's living room again-- I say again because my car has already been "inside" a house in the hands of the previous owner.

Gotta drive a bit out of town for the twisty roads that are devoid of buildings to have some fun...
