I was exploring earlier today and ended up taking Paterson Pass Road from Livermore out to 580
Really awesome drive; small windy road that takes you over the back of Altemont Pass through the windmill grounds.

Here's a link to the route

 

Not a secret, but still bad form to post roads like that.

 

What the hell is wrong with posting up fun roads to drive?

 

huh sorry to burst ur bubble buddy, but i go that way all the time, thats if u live in mountain house, lol ya its a cool ride but watch out i got a ticket there before being stupid!! there are a lot of undercover and blank marked cops (sheriffs) hiding out. have fun but keep it safe, there have been plenty of people who died there!! i heard of 10 so far in the three years i have lived here.

 

Goons head out there, wreck and it brings heat to the whole area. See Skaggs Rd. for evidence.

 

thats the truth!!

 

not really our problem, if some goon goes out and wrecks, its his fault not anyone here.

 

i feel ya on that, but when some guy wrecks in his subie somewhere they start looking for cars like that , and then the harassment comes. the cops here in tracy and livermore, are pretty cool, they like subies here, the last thing we need is for them to get a bad taste in thier mouths for subies, u feel me?

 

It actually is, the entire community suffers from heightened enforcement. But, if you like waving to the cops as you drive the posted limit on every backroad you frequent because some fool drove over his ability, then more power to you.

Again, see sportbikes and Skaggs Rd.

 

I hate to tell you, but our cars are not the new kid in town anymore. Everyone knows about them, and that includes the fuzz.

Again, I highly doubt the cops out there are thinking "wow, I am really impressed by the average turbo Subaru owner...they seem really respectful and mature"

Guys, the facts are:

- Subaru owners will represent us poorly regardless of what is posted online

- People will find these roads whether they are posted or now

- Cops will pull us over, whether we tell people about fun roads or not. Just look at the daily "I got a ticket/reffed/harassed" threads for proof

I have had officers tell me that they know my car is fast, and they appreciate when I drive slow and obey the laws. However, they are watching me and waiting for me to **** up. Gotta love small towns!!

 

lol, damn that was a damn good write up

 

I'm not talking about Subaru's or any make/model for that matter. All I'm saying is posting otherwise low key roads on internet forums leads to problems. I've seen it happen before, a few guys wreck, tons of CHP show up and the fun is over for the next month.

 

Best reply ever. Don't think that just because you talked the subaru forum into being respectful on said road, means that all other "awesome road seekers" won't abuse it as well. Be prepared to get pulled over.

 

Yea because the cops have enough resources and manpower to patrol every road and every possible spot.

 

I do you one better.



Crème de la crème if you ask me.
