Track Day
Took out the Reverse Switch from the Tip box and bent the contacts back around to get my reverse lights/rear parking sensors working again - saved buying the switch and was really easy to do (under 1 hour)

i ask only because i've been driving that section of both the "drive" section of mulholland where i grew up and in fact learned to drive, though it's a great term! it's a great road, from the hills off hollywood, all the way, the 30 miles to the pacific ocean ending at the HIGHWAY 1! quite a drive and all driven by the infamous "mulholland raciing society" as well as the mulhollland "highway" sectiion for the better part of fifty years, and though i am am unfamiliar with any section known by that term. what a great road it is!
is that just a name you've just given to describe it? if so? i perfectly understand!

I had a house on Mulholland for many years and was tempted to make a run of t-shirts... name goes back to the 80s or beyond. I actually had a screen capture of a Google map that identified Mulholland Scenic Raceway.
In any case, this particular shot was West of the Rock Store.

i had JUST had dinner at the "old place" a thousand yards ( if that!? ) from the "rock store" just LAST NIGHT! and posted to you the question just upon my return! from there!
which is why i wondered if upon waking, i was wondering if my posting to you was going to be "intelligible"! or not!
those are the only "friends" i have "up there" and they all reside as that's where "i live" too! but THEY are all WELL hunkered down. me? i am just a sitting duck lol.
lots of ex spclforces folks lol. me? i'm just an old guy that likes to talk/drink, and partake too much. pretty harmless
but then, it is all fed'l land anyway! it was co-optedmany years ago to make that territory "less" "habitable" corridors..."legally"! this is the key. look at the santa monica mountain ranges one day and tell me what you see vis a vis "livable" land VS "preserved federal govt lands" run by the "Nat'l Park Service!"... Smokey the Bear now wears ak's!! it's true!! ( lol... i think?! )..pretty dangerous land they rescue hikers ever day. I feel "safer"! how about you?anyway...good to know we were once "neighbors"!!! cheers! never heard that one tho!.. the scenic whatchacallait lol. cool, i may use that!
but if you're ever NEAR the rock store?? a beer or two is on me! but i won't set foot NEAR that place!! "TOURISTS"! lol

Three Wheelin'
Drove mine to the Bay Area for work. Needed to drop parts off in Morganhill down 101 for rework. On the return, while "merging with authority" on to 101, i probably topped 85-90 on the on-ramp and promptly slowed to match the traffic flow at about 75-80 (its easier to dodge things in front of you than worry about the things behind you). Changed 4 lanes (with blinker and stabilizing in each). Within 30 seconds had a CHP behind me with the lights on. Pulled over promptly and crisply. Young guy, checked all my papers, stood back looked at the car, leaned in and said "please drive slower, have a nice day" I said thank you
Being courteous, respectful, and not driving like a BOZO goes a long way.
