I live close to Death Valley. You can spend days exploring the winding, crazy mountain roads in your Type R, the straight aways that go to the horizon, the killer grades that try lesser cars' souls. Yeah, and you'll need those Brembos--around that next hairpin could be a wild burro taking a dump in the middle of the road, or a rock slide. Gas is about $5.50/gal for premium, so fill up outside the park!
Sooner or later you have to go off road if you want to get to the good trail heads. Washboard, cacti, gravel, rattlers...I'm interested to see if others have taken their Type R's off road, and how'd it go? Or just what other extreme road conditions you've found yourself in.
Here's a pic or two of my latest off pavement excursion. 117 degrees, middle of summer. I've found Sport mode is best. The engine stayed nice and cool throughout the trip, I am happy to report. Good job, Honda!
