Project 'Me BooSTa'

[Jake]

Well, I'm home from a quick weekend trip down to JMU. I was pleased to see a relatively-huge turnout for a "cruise on 33 West lol" Facebook post. We had probably 15 or so people show up, and a good selection of cars to drive and ride in.

MM-friend Nate Carden rode with Andrew in his 328is, and shot a few photos of the drive. Parked at the bottom of the mountain, on the WV side:



Now, as far as the car and how it handled and things. I installed a Steeda rear sway bar last weekend, and while it doesn't make a lick of difference on my commute... It really kept the handling in line on the mountain. Keeping the car in 3rd, I had plenty of powerband to mess with. The tires stuck, it didn't want to plow (and I did push it a decent amount) and it was entirely predictable. The extra cost for the seats-and-stuff package was worth every dollar... The front Recaros are just fantastic through hard turns.

Also took Route 211 home from JMU. WHY did I not know how awesome this road was during college? Oh man, it just was the cherry on top of a great weekend.



After all this, I can't wait to see how she does at VIR in a few weeks!
