Video of first back roads drive after break-in period
This isn't the most entertaining video, but I thought I'd share it anyways. The great thing about living in the South Bay (south of San Francisco) is we have a wealth of great driving roads around the outskirts of the busy Silicon Valley. I took it fairly easy as I've only been driving this car for a week and this was my first time on this road. The M3 might be at home on the race track, but it's meant for these back roads as well.
(You can view it in 720p after you hit play) Video was shot with a GoPro HD Motorsports Hero mounted on my hood.

Thanks for sharing the video.
I highly recommend Hwy 1 from Marin City north to Tomales, it's worth the drive. Or go east to New Priest Grade, google it.

Here's the road on google maps: http://d.pr/VDX8 (might have to zoom out a bit) Quote:
My favorite cruising road has to be Skyline Blvd in the morning on a weekday. No cars and it's just a beautiful and smooth drive through some nice twisty roads.
