How is it to live in an area without mountain roads to drive

>>15906930

"Mountains" in California don't count. The roads are crowded with squids and wannabe drifters in shitty RWD econoboxes. That and yo got a cop with radar on every turn. 0/10 would not touge.

>live in Saskatchewant, one of the flattest places on earth, in the flattest area for that matter
>rewatch the first few stages every summer
It kills me inside, but the roads are so shit here it's not worth it to own a nice car anyway.

>>15906930
It is. In areas like this car culture is mainly highway drag racing, which t b h is lame as hell.
Luckily there are a handful nice roads here.

>>15906930
No, a shitty existence is watching initial d and only having fwd cars to drive.

>>15906930
Wait, doesn't /o/ hate Initial D and things related to it? I am confused.

>>15906975
/o/ fucking loves initial d

>>15906975
Im tired if people personifying /o/.

>>15906975
/o/ hates every vehicle ever made and everything else car related.

>>15906942
Thats not true though. They arent crowded at the right times. Same thing with cops, certain nights will be worse than others. Obviously Friday and Saturday nights it will be more crowded and a higher chance of cops, California has some of the best mountains to drive in the whole country.

>>15906930
Fucking awful, but I don't mind, my fwd shitbox can't handle it

>>15906942
This is also very true

>>15906960
Why would you think we hate it?

>>15906942
This applies to some spots. Like the snake Mulholland for example. There are tons of other less crowded spots throughout California that are great for some touge fun.

I live near mountains, but not near enough to simply go straight there. The easiest road to access is a highway, too, and it's usually too congested to even drive with spirit.

I live in Las Vegas and there's basically zero touge. It sucks, but you just buy a dirt bike for $2k and have more fun racing with other amateurs at a fraction of the cost of building a TOUGE MACHINE so it's not too bad. Fill in the rest with conefagging.

but the roads, oh the roads

5 minutes west from my house there are infinite well-maintained, just about deserted mountain roads as close to a touge as you can get

no cops ever

pic related, those are just the "main" mountain roads, there's endless other roads, cutting through canyons or along lakes and rivers, or through dense forest, ahh it's just great, I can go for a Initial D style rip anytime I fucking please

not a bad idea my dude looking forward to it

>>15912428
With oncoming traffic it is really only an issue if you go up during the day, which is already a bad idea in itself. If you go up late enough at night you can easily dreamy oncoming headlights with plenty of time to dip fully back into your lane. Honestly though chances are that if it is a real heavy road there won't be pedestrians on it super late anyways.

>>15917834
This fella knows

Especially in a canyon you can see the oncoming lights on the cliffsides quite easily

its deer you have to watch out for, those stupid fucking horse-rats are the most retarded pieces of shit alive

Never hit one thankfully, but have had to swerve/hard brake more times than I can count

The closest I can come to twisties is shadowing a river.

Blow by corn fields on the glorious grid system.

>Seems like a shitty existence.
As someone that likes cars that are designed to handle corners, it is. Dumped a bunch of money into my z31 to find out I'm not really into dodging cones.

I could drive about 7 hours down to Clarkston, but the track is in poor condition and it's a mere 1.4 miles at best. Literally the only non oval track in the state.

It is. Also, what kills me is that where I live there's nothing beautiful to see. You know, I'd like to get the cvar, drive on a nice mountain road and get somewhere with a nice view or something.
But no.

Oh, also,

>he doesn't drift in the many drift events and open track days that pop up throughout the summer

The only reason there isn't a bigger motorsport culture around here is because nobody wants to put in the effort.
