Just wondering, whats up with MM's endless fixation on cruising 33W? There are other nice drives around here with better scenery...



I CALL SHOTGUN ON THIS ONE

It's also sort of tradition to cruise 33W and make the stop at the top and other side to bullshit.

Rain + 33w = a bit of an issue for me lol. Still possibly in depending what it ends up being.

Low 50s 20% chance of rain not too shabby a little warmer would be perfect but everything can't always go your way :thumbup:

Weather outlook is looking better.

Just a warning don't get too stupid on the cruise. Loose gravel and on top of the snow melting creates wet and loose road conditions. Don't want anything happening. But, of course I still want to have some fun and will push it but within reason of course per say road conditions

There is going to be a ton of gravel on the mountain. There is always some but after all this snow it's going to be a whole lot worse.

Don't let the gravel stop you from coming to have fun just don't be right on someone's ass. You can still have fun by keeping your distance

This. We need to make sure we don't follow too close as it is (gather 'round children, and I'll tell you a story of how Joey's car earned a modified exhaust). You can go 7/10ths (or hell, 5/10ths) and still have a blast.

I dunno how y'all are planning on hitting this mountain, but if flying off the side due to gravel is a serious concern you're gonna be going waaay faster than me.

He's autocrossed it, which is more than you can say.

Everyone's definition of 9/10s is a little different, but you don't have to be a dickwad about it.
