My paddles came in handy today

I took my 335 for a drive up to big bear lake today.What a rush it was.The road is full of curves and no cops.The paddle shifters are awesome because i never had to take my hands off the wheel unlike the manual trans.The car handled the road like a turbo carrera and with the turbo tuner it was an awesome rush.If you have never been there go check it out.Next time im going to mount my video camera on the dash

The 330 is one of the most exhilirating mountain drives. My Wife hates going to my Ma's house in Running Springs because if it is nice and open oh man its on. She always says she needs a Zanex before we go up and especially on the way down.

Also the sections past Snow Valley right before the Big Bear turn off are crazy fast if you take them straight when no cars are on both sides since you can see straight ahead.

I'm jealous though cause I only have that much fun in my 328 I could only imagine the time you had in your 335

I would agree, this drive is fun! However, be VERY careful!! Rocks on the road can get sketchy!!!
