Nothing like a brisk early morning run! The light, the wind, the noise -- intoxicating stuff when you're in the groove and the curves blend into a flow, particularly on a traffic-free run as you had. Can there be a better way to start your day? Ok, maybe, but aside from that (!) me thinks not. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing Jaybird.

Couldn't have said it better. The rest of the day was devoted to "honey do's" around the house. Did em with a smile. Lol

Awesome video Jaybird, especially the different camera angles.

Getting into that "zone" that you and Nick mention is exactly why I love this car. Not long after you hop into the drivers seat and start carving corners everything else in the world falls away and it's just you and the car fully connected and conquering each turn as it comes at you. It is truly the best medicine for the afflicted car nut.

Nice vid Jb, we should organize a local Spyder drive. You seem to know the route....

What's the orange light illuminated on your dash in the video?

Im always up for a drive. I know theres a group of spyder owners who've organized a few meet ups recently.

The light is the airbag light from my switch from sport seats to non-airbag buckets.

Another great video, JB! Love the (Jay) bird's eye view and rear passenger angle. You were truly in the groove...nice driving!

P.S. You are missed on the 997 board; the boys and I hope that you bring your new beauty up north one day...congrats on the new wheels...she is special!

Thanks. 2017s goal is to film as many of California's best roads. Im practicing my camera skills.

I miss my 997, but I'm falling in love with the Spyder!

Nice video and camera angles. As for the mic placement, try clipping or placing it on your license plate and using something like this to muffle the wind noise: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=AJJXN514E694T
