    ive never been there but it looks awesome on the map.

    Bellevue in general looks like a prime spot to be on the lake looking at the ocean.

      it is the best. Driving my dads e46 laguna seca M3 around that on a sunny day is the greatest. Can't wait to finish my e30 s52 turbo project to hit that road sideways.

      ..... you cant see the ocean while in bellevue and driving around the lake..

        My commute to work:



        Its got tons of elevation change and tight banking curves on the way out of Salem, as well as looong, empty, straights through bright green rolling hills south of Independance. It's as beautiful as it is fun to drive.

        And I get to take it home every day from work <3
        <-- F*** that guy

          This is my drive to school, only a mile but it's super fun to drive. Elevation change every curve, then the last 4 turns are wide. Fun on rainy mornings :-D

          This is also the route I take whenever I decide to go to a hot lap or test things out.

              I don't go flying around my neighborhood... I shouldn't of used the term "hot lap." I meant, whenever I'm bored, I just hop in my car and take a lap around my neighborhood. Never going more than 30 mph.

                I drove this in a Ford Explorer but in an E30 during an off hour it would be a blast. Nice little hill climb. Saw one E30 headed up as I came back down.

                    Are you talking about Foster? It gets twisty. Holgate pretty much dies at 140th as it runs into Powell Butte.

                    In which case, Foster kicks ass and is on my weekly quick drive list out to Damascus and beyond.

                      boo lol sometimes you gotta spice the routine up a bit, a corner you take everyday on your commute is probably better than one you're not as familiar with IMO :pimp:

                        Deerhorn rd, east of springfield. Runs along the mckenzie river. Good for a quick sprint. Only a few miles long. Nice scenery too.
