yup. you can tell by how much it shakes when he hits a bump. If the yaris vibrated like that you'd snap your spine.. lol.

Also, that's a weird closed course with cars parked on the side :confused:

Do another one with the windows up so we can actually hear the engine, and mounted in a better place, so the A pillar isn't cutting the screen in half.

watch it close.. is a single lane sir.... there ain't no where i can go outside of a LANE, and the road is half wide as the one u sent me

neo1985
03-02-2009, 06:37 PM
guys.. the begining is kinda boring.. but u can skip to after 2min.. endless hairpin... then u would like ur yaris so so so much
and again.. for those who think i speed up the video.. u can do a simple calculation.. the road is 4 miles long.. just assume i was driving 40 the entire time... u will see this aint speeded up

NOT tryin to prove anything.. just wanna show u how great yaris is!!! and dont want ya'll to get me wrong

well.... there are local ppl who live there... and closed course because this is legally a single lane downhill road.. and for safty.. i hv someone down at the end of the road to make sure no locals doin illegal uphilll on the road.. so is perfectly close road

I don't think that is sped up, and he does say it's 10 fps, that is pretty much what that looks like.

Neo, where is this exactly?

PFFFFT who you trying to fool . In your vid we can clearly see the white arrows pointing in both directions and we see you crossing the solid yellow line . In USA crossing a solid yellow line means you are in the other lane .

In USA a single lane is 10-12 feet wide ( I think thats right ? )

okay.. lets put it this way.. u are totally rite.. the begining of the road is partially two way... but u will see one way sign very very soon.... the road aint wide at all as u can see.. may be 10 feet wide.. definetly some part are wide as 12-14 feet.. but most... are around 10 feet i'd say.. no guard rails either..

and BTW.. the left side of those solid yellow lane.. is for safty reason.. in case of a land falll.. but thats my line.. the road is too narrow

I don't think it's a two lane road. You can see the yellow line, but at some parts of the video the other "lane" is only a foot wide. Look after 3 minutes, and you'll see.

you didnt do your STOP sign - 3 demerit points!

shuuuuuuuuuu..... i've checked there to make sure the road are still there.. that stop sign is for incase of land fall the road dont exist no more..

its the video that makes the gps look like its super fast. it looks like a Garmin.

and u know why is refreshes so quick!!????
becuase the road is really narrow.. and gps couldn't tell which direction that im goin.. and on a road like this.. the lag really will show!! so no way u can look at that and try to know what kind corner is in front u!! it refreshes so fast cuz is KEEP ON DOING SLEF CORRECTION

this litto thing is 100 bucks

Nice vids. That first one kinda looks like the old auto-x section around Decker Canyon past the Ventura County line. The second one looks like Angeles Crest Hwy up in our mountains. Hard to tell though for sure

Wow, that is pretty fast run Neo. Got my heart racing :biggrin:

I've been down that mountain road and it's no joke. ONE WAY ROAD, narrow, no guard rails, road isn't even that smooth either, and its all DOWNHILL so you pick up HUGE amounts of speed.

Awesome video! :thumbsup:
