A drive on G-16 pics...

So in response to the video on here with the spyder and seinfeld driving on monterey county g-16 or carmel valley road. I decided to give it a shot. it is a BEAUTIFUL drive. By far one of the best i have been on. It can be a little slow at first but once out into the hills there isnt a soul. The road gets quite narrow but after a little bit widens right up. It is alot of fun has some good straights turns and well everything. If you ever find yourself out in the Monterey bay area I highly recommend hitting it up.

here are some pics (i appologize for the quality but i forgot my camera and all i had was my phone.)
















OKAY this pic was perfect and for SOME reason the only other vehicle i saw in the previous 45 mins drove by right when i snapped it. I thought i had got the pic in time but apparently... i didnt.



enjoy... i need a beer.

For a phone camera, those are really nice photographs. Looks like a beautiful drive. Also, do you always drive with no plates?
