Thanks! Total loop for me that day was this. The best parts are the section along Hells Canyon between Baker City, OR and Cambridge, ID.

On this trip, I mostly used my DJI Mavic Air 2 drone, the one inside the car was a GoPro Hero 7 Black, and others were with Canon R5, with RF 15-35mm f/2.8.

Thanks very much! Put the winter wheels/tires on this past weekend, and went for a little drive or two to get them scrubbed in. Of course, had to bring the camera along just in case. The new wheels give the car a little different look (silver vs. black). Glad to have both options!

Stunning roads and scenery...it makes me really miss my mountain escapes which are closed or too snow covered until Spring. Even the direct sun is helping you here with these photos...GT Silver is such a great color! I look forward to more photos.

Jeff

Bwhip, those wheels look great. What brand are they and what tires are you using on them?

Thanks! Those are the OZ Leggera HLT. Remarkably great price compared to others I like, from Tire Rack. Offset on the front is slightly different than OEM, but it is the closest they make (55 mm vs 61), and it's close enough. Rear is same as OEM at 50mm. They're really nice wheels, same weight as OEM, and finish is super slick which makes cleaning very easy. Tires are Michelin PS4S, in same sizes as OEM (which in my case were Dunlop Sport Maxx Race II's). Tire Rack shipped them here fully mounted with caps, TPMS, etc., for a very good price.

This car loves twisty mountain roads - but it looks pretty great in the city too
