Test Video in Berkeley... explicit lyrics

Here is a video I shot with my digital camera on movie mode last night (6/25). It was very impromptu and I wedged the camera between the seat and headrest... I could not aim it very well (as you will see) on the fly.

What I can offer is the sound of the Weapon R intake, some Quarashi dubbed in over the sound of everything rolling around in the car can the tire rubbing, and a GREAT shot of the speedo... anyhow, you'll see the speed and the turns and enjoy 2:45 of my evening. You can also see how there is NO BODY ROLL whatsoever from with the Megan Racing Coilovers.

NOTE: It is dusk, so when I get under the trees, it's dark... and when I compressed the video it got darker. Bear with it for a little bit.

Lights please...

I am also uploading the original file in hopes it's brighter... no music but possibly better visual quality.

The camera could not deal with the contrast of the bright speedo and the dimly lit outside. This is on Wildcat Canyon Rd. which goes over the top of hills and down to Orinda. I don't know if you you can see the bay (I am heading due East from SF, so it would be at my back and left). I was like: Wait, I wonder if this would come out on my camera?

is that manual or auto....pretty fast at shifting towards the start if manual. I like the road. Theres a similar road like this, you should try on HWY 1. If not try the roads up to Santa Cruz w/ radar dectector ofcourse..too many hidden cops waiting at certain checkpoints~

Nice video and music, but a bit dark. Maybe mp4 might do the trick or H264

It's a manual... I use second gear the whole road (I did shift into 3rd at one point because there were people out in their driveway). I was driving highly spirited, but it's all blind corners.

I love HWY 9, that's the bomb, and highway 1 north of SF is AMAZING, probably some of the best twisities in the WORLD. It just goes and goes!

Now I wish I can find some of those nice mountain roads here in Brisbane ~

I went on one last night.....but very very narrow and it was raining so there was fog -_-" ~ But I did enjoy driving on it ~ Couldn't do much.....it was wet ~

Very nice btw ~ Would be better if we could see more of the road ^_^ ~

Initial D driving.....I would love to do that one day ~ With no cars on the mountain road and no police to stop you.....yea I wish -_-" ~

Jaspie ~

Thats pretty cool, I looked at the user manual said for only highway merging go up till 35 in 1st gear. Awesome though.

Havent tried HYW 1 North. And i havent tried HWY 9 since I got my Yaris. Went to dealers because worried if i am taking off right w/ clutch because i smelled something

Do a video for HYW 9 w/o traffic going down. You can get a good feel for the corners~

Still getting this message using the vid link:
500 Internal Server Error

Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

Thanks for the YouTube.
