Maybe be a little bit safer, hahaha.

"ha ha ha", Shut it Rob. Generally I just disregard your posts that are either uncalled for or irrelevant, but this one got to me. That's one of those things that are to remain unspoken. If you wanted it to be safer, you should have ridden in a slower car and/or with a slower driver. You asked for a ride, noone made you get in, and I'm personally insulted by that statement. I could tell you were scared but you got yourself into that situation. You could have asked to get out. I was pushing the car and the road, but I was also in control and I know the taboo of that mountain.

90% of that drive was at my normal pace. Everyone can go their own pace on that road, so rather than acting like a tattle tale on those of us that have an understanding of that road that you do not, kept a pace more brisk than most, and that let you even ride, just mind your own business, ok? I take responsibility for my driving, my car, and whatever good or bad things may come of it, and so I do not need you to tell me to be safer just because we were outside of your comfort level.

This is something that should occur in a PM, not on the message board. I think what Rob said is perfectly valid. He shouldn't feel the need to "shut it" - this isn't some secret society. You know as well as I do that parts of that drive were far from "scenic." No one forced him into the car, but I doubt he knew the drive was going to be as "brisk" as it was either. This shouldn't even be an issue, and certain people shouldn't have been driving the way that they were. "pushing the car and the road" isn't the point of a SCENIC DRIVE. I really don't give a flying fuck how you drive, how fast you drive, if you are in control or not, if you give a shit about laws, cops or other motorists, as long as you do it on your own time - i.e. not when you are leading a group of cars, many who's drivers had no idea where they were going. Rob's comment is perfectly valid - the next drive should be a little safer, whether you want to admit it or not.
