It is the weekend so I’m home in Los Angeles enjoying my STi, finally getting a chance to bring it up the Angeles Crest Highway just in time to hit 140,000 miles. I drove all the way up to the ski mountains since I wanted to see some snow.

I didn’t drive particularly hard up there but it was nice to just go for a cruise and enjoy the beautiful weather. It only got down to about 50 degrees once I got up to the ski lifts, which is kind of warm up there for February but also much cooler than the 80 down in the city. It was just a nice drive and I took a whole pile of pictures.

Very little snow at this ski lift in February

I was somewhat sketched about driving around snow with summer tires on the car but it’s not like any was on the road and it was quite warm as well. It was nice how close this area was. I had brunch in Burbank with my girlfriend so it was only about an hour and fifteen until I got to some snow. Looking forward to another LA day before heading back to Dallas on Monday. Next weekend I at least have three days here so I will make sure to get a nice long hike in as well.

Has front plate holder, doesn’t run front plate. I like that.

I would run a front plate if the previous owner gave me one. While I always like the no front plate look, I hate attracting police attention. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a new plate but it seems annoying to go to the Dmv and Ive been out of town way too often to deal with it.

That’s fair enough. I never ran one in Texas and never had a problem.

Man, am I jealous. My Legacy GT got clobbered today and I won’t be able to drive it for a while. That last picture is mighty fine.

I haven’t had any issues yet but I’m a firm believer in never commit two crimes at once and I’m not going to stop speeding lol.

Oh man, hopefully no injuries at least! And if insurance gets you back to operational that would be great. Yeah the mountains up there offer some excellent scenery for cool pictures. That was like the first one I took actually haha.

No injuries thankfully. What’s the elevation around there?

Well where I found the snow is at around 7000 feet and somewhere near the beginning of Angeles Crest is about 2000 feet. But at home is like 100 feet. So it’s quite a bit of elevation change going there and back haha.
