Well, I had to get up early today (especially after being in Hollywood last night, agh!) but I won't be "available" till after 9am. I doubt that is real early. If you are still around, pm me your #.

This weekend I think I am out for the group events. I gotta catch up on a few things... If it changes, I'll let ya know.

Sorry, sorry, I know I'm going off topic, this'll just take one post.

Dont see anything wrong, I dont think a "skinny back" is ostentatious, I think its pitiful , I thought somebody might see the deprived condition I'm in and offer me some food,,, I like cheap Pizza (NY, not chicago, and preferebaly weekends, thats when I cheat on my diet).

The "top of the world" still by far has the best view I have seen anywhere.

Personally, I think you are spot on. There's really nowhere on public roads -- especially in SoCal -- where you can be using a lot of brake and gas and be reasonably safe (and by that, I mean, not making big assumptions that "hopefully there's no one on a bike or a slow car around that corner"). And you can really enjoy what's around you at what I would consider a sane pace.

That said, the on-track experience is different. Not better, perhaps, but different. But it's definitely more focused. At Thunderhill I've come in after a session and had people ask "did you see that crop duster go overhead?" and I'm like "uhm, no, I was a little focused on what my car was doing and where I was going to be sightseeing!"

Not to be all heavy but that just contributes to the objectification of women being judged by their looks. If you think about it, it is better without pics because then you can make up whatever fantasy harem of female Lotus drivers you want. What if pics are posted and they are just average women or beautiful but not your type? (And I didn't go so I can't speak to the lovely ladies in question but I personally think all female Lotus drivers rock!). Just leave it to your imagination.

Oh and P.S. per an earlier post, I don't like the idea of a women-only forum section. Seems lame to promote segregation. It's like having certain threads only open to certain ages or ethnicities. I like inclusivity better.

A few examples...

SUNDAY DRIVE...Agoura Hills, Southern Cal.

Pics from LA Lotus/Ferrari/Porsche Canyon drive - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

Saturday, October 6th -- Bel Air/Calabasas/Malibu Run II

Santa Barbara Lotus Meet

I can see where he's coming from, Chris...

one word Madisyn...as soon as the pic went up, the forum blew up

Yeah lighten up, why is it bad to be a unique group of people doing something "your people" tend to not do....why would other people NOT want to see that.

I think it's kick ass ya'll get together and do something like this.....it's VERY cool. I PERSONALLY would LOVE to see some pics of you all tearing it up, or standing by your cars at the top of an amazing road. I have about 11ty billion pictures like that....and there are about 11ty billion pictures of a group of douschebag guys hanging around their gay cars. JOIN IN THE FUN!!!!

You should inspire other women to do the same.....don't hide....promote. And why does everything in this world have to be bad, or motivated by evil.

POSITIVITY FRIENDS!!!
