Road like this with cool cars passing by, is just a real life Forza and I Adore this
What an incredible road! This just became one of my favourite videos on youtube, the road and the views are mental, your driving style was perfect, no overly fast and risky maneuvers and plenty of quiet parts of the video, that allow you to enjoy the drive with the view and sound
Amazing views, what a beautiful road!
And thank you for always saying "respect cyclists" ... as someone who was hit by a car on their bicycle and suffered a TBI as a result, I wish more people would have the same attitude. I like that you drive fast, but always respectful and cautious of your surroundings, both pedestrian and vehicular.
Agreed. I've never been in an accident but I like that he pushes the car and himself but he's cautious and doesn't take dumb risks... Simple things like how he slows down a bit when he can't see around a corner
god this video might be my favorite, I love your driving style, cautious but still fast, that's how everyone should be driving on open roads !
thanks for sharing this
exactly what I was about to comment
and if you are not, LET THEM PASS
Could we get a gti or golf r review? Love that mk7 that you were chasing :)
I think this Civic generation is one of the best modern cars ever made.
I love it, too bad in my country the price is 70-80k euros lmfao retards and their "co2" tax
@@dwade3202 Yeah, in Portugal the retail prices for this Civic aren't that much different. 😕
One of the best POV drives I've seen in a while, you have to do more of them.
I make 3 per week!
I think he’s saying do more Angeles Crest drives or canyon drives chasing other cars lol
I couldn't shake the feeling that I was looking at a road in the Bosnian or Montenegrin mountains. The same corners, the same experience. And every other car going into a corner at 80 mph is a VW Golf with local license plates (probably the most popular cars in the Balkans).
Great video.
Reminded me of driving in mountains of Lebanon, but without the pine trees and the bad roads 😅
Just moved to California nearly a year ago for work and this video truly reminded me how incredibly lucky I am to have access to such roads. Oddly enough, I'm searching for a MK7.5 GTI DSG for commuting and taking the time to appreciate these roads on the weekends. Thank you for this gem of a pov video! By far, my favorite video you've done on the channel!
I have a Mk7 and I'm incredibly jealous. There aren't many nice roads in MA.
@@alechall7082 I know your pain. South Florida after 2 decades. I live in NorCal, but my in laws live in Ventura about a little over an hour away from LA, so we always visit often. Even in NorCal, we have fantastic mountain and canyon trails here, These types of CA roads will truly make one appreciate ALL dynamics of a car without obsessing over huge power numbers. For an MK7 GTI, given CA commuter traffic is awful along with having mountain roads to escape to on weekends, even a Stage 1 ecu reflash is overkill for me, personally.
Why get the dsg? Wouldn’t a manual be more enjoyable?
@@JHonda673 Good question! There's plenty of reasons, and they all revolve around practicality. I commute on the freeway to my office for work and back roughly an hour daily with A LOT of stop and go. Coming from a 350Z 6MT, riding 1-2 gear in bumper to bumper traffic on the highway is DISMAL. Additionally, my in-laws live in SoCal, and my wife and I visit them from NorCal practically every other month, so long road trips where I may want her to drive (she can't drive stick) is more advantageous than not. We're also family planning, so rather not deal with possible mishaps in a manual trans with more moving mechanical parts compared to a DSG. The DSG is also much faster and doesn't suffer from rev hang as much as the manual. Plus, the stock clutch on the manual is pathetically weak and slips just from an ECU reflash alone (and a Sachs, Ringer or ttrs clutch, which is more on the reliable budget end for performance clutch kits are $800+ before labor). In my 20s when I was single, I wouldn't have cared, but approaching my mid 30s with other priorities in life, the 6MT wouldn't be appreciated enough to warrant getting one. It's funny because most forum posts that ask this question get responses from owners that in majority vocalize not regretting the switch from a manual to a DSG.
@@Pas_Quattro I've had a manual mk5 for 12 years and would like a mk7 with dsg. Manual is cool but dsg would be better most of the time
GTI guy was moving!
Just picked up a Boost Blue, and now I need to find a road like that to drive it on!
I definitely would not want to be a cyclist on those roads. Amazing drive and scenery.
No offense, but that "God, I love driving!" was adorable haha
Car Mecca is real and it is Southern California, Very lucky to enjoy having my own CTR (FK8) out here for a while away from the new England winter. Roads, views, and company are all incredible. Great vid man!
Thanks for the drive Tedward! It's nice to be able to do that and not have any risk of dying.
Your life is a dream! I take breaks from my workday to watch your videos and live vicariously through you.
this was such a cool road!
this, Hana Highway, and ToD are on my bucket list for sure
Love the videos. I could watch these all day, so cozy!
Thank you!
Nice, I was the 1st FL5 Type R at Newcombs back in November, good times!
Holy cow! I was there earlier in the morning doing the exact same thing. It was my first time and I got to spend it with a ND1 Miata Cup and now I'm totally hooked! I'll be going back in a few weeks (that Boost Blue Civic Type R is on Turo btw)
01:58 I love when you use the emergency flashers to say thank you. I asked a few of my friends how do you say thank you to the car behind you they be like you don't ?_?
Did that all over Washington last summer. Lived the dream. Had front & rear dashcams. Awesome memories
Nooo wayyy you're at ACH!! Wish I could have seen ya :D Love your videos man
This was a beautiful video, so immersive
Looks fun driving that thing up in those roads haha. The view is awesome as well
saving this video so i can one day visit this place. I'm not a huge car person, but ive always wanted to be! I'm just now getting into cars and your videos have definitely appealed to me. Thank you for the videos and the content
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Ted! Brought back memories of my daily commute home for nearly 2 years. I always thought that restaurant would’ve been cool to buy if I won the lotto…just to serve great food to enthusiasts driving that road. I wouldn’t even care if it made a dime. It’s just a great place to stop as you already know!👍
What a satisfying video to watch. Was very fun watching you and the GTI hustling thru the canyons. Appreciate the content.👌🏽🔥🔥
Type r's are just built different 👏
Wow😍😍😍, nice ride, nice road, nici car 🚀🚀🚀 and video, good luck, hy from România 👏👏👏
Ahoy NSX at 15:33 . That was a great drive! It makes me want to drive a couple hours south of me to the Ohio 555 for a drive when the winter is over…
Loved every second
Man, this video is awesome lol!
that gti was RIPPIIN angeles crest holy
Oh man this looked so fun!
The canyon/mountain roads out here in southern California are insane and it really made me rethink what a good sports car is. No longer do I care about straight line speed.
Twisty roads must be amazing in that little rocket 👌
Bet you. The guy in the Gti thought he was gapping you. Thank you for bringing this style of video forward. Judging by the pp. I’m just happy to see you love the brand like I do.
Love all the Type R updates and videos. Hopefully getting a my own in a couple months from my local dealer. Any value in getting an engine block heater for a Midwest winter climate?
Heat from the turbo should be good. Here in Canada fk8s have been just fine. I recommend heading over to the 11th gen civic forums for more information.
I think I’ve watched this 3 or 4 times now all the way through because it gives a really good feel of the car’s capabilities and interior sound. What level was the fake sound on in this video @tedward? It sounds good to me here, unlike other videos on full R mode
That road is perfect 🥹🥹🥹
I can't even imagine what I would give to have a road like this so close to home. I live in texas where everything is flat, and while I do have my favorite backroads, they are nowhere near as long or as fun looking as this.
Awesome run!
chasing that mk7 the whole way was crazy
That Honda just purrs so nicely.
Bro that was so satisfying to watch
Tedward, I wonder what your Civic Type R would think when it sees this video. /s.
I need this in my life
Let's go! Love this car
Those cliffs would scare the crap out of me. You don’t see those in MA
Would love to carve those canyons. I drove all the way from Colorado to Perris, CA to buy my RSX Type S and didn't even take it through there while I was around. Huge mistake. Guess it's back to the Assetto Corsa canyons mod, lol. Heck I live in CO Springs and haven't even taken it up Pikes Peak yet. Not sure what my problem is, lol. You are living the life, dude! Have fun, drive safe.
I drove a 10th gen the other day and I fell in love with a Type R
Sad that I never had a fun car back when i was living in SoCal, we have our fair share of fun roads up here in the bay area but Angeles Crest is on a whole other level
I love Angeles crest SO MUCH I’ve been lucky enough to drive it in a 335 and an 850 t-5r (ps I liked hustling the 850 more 😈)
Jeez this looks like an absolute blast. Nice driving. I'll be in California later this year, definitely doing this...if the rental car's brakes can hold up!
You'll get a ticket on ACH before you can go fast enough to cook the brakes.
@@omg_stoppit Yup, in my Miata I don't touch the brakes and still have plenty of fun.
@@omg_stoppit are there a lot of cops up there?
Makes me want to visit America just to drive on these roads. Nice video
You should. they are as good as they look. just get yourself a rental and go for a drive
thats a healthy golf right there
crazy how fast a GTI is in the canyons - don't know how they do it
You mentioned Blizzacks, what's the tire/rim setup? I just got my FL5 and am looking to do some winter tires in CO. Calling around, it's been hard to find 18s that fit any decent tires and the rotor setup.
That was a casual 40 over the speed limit 😅 hard not to when you have someone pushing in front of you like that. I would be the nerd going 55 the whole time...
I'm envious of California canyons. M-22 is the closest thing we Michiganders have to Angeles Crest, but I'll never be able to push as hard as you are pushing in this video because of the ever-present deer danger. I went out last year and had 7 deer crossing in 30 miles.
If you drive further up that same stretch into the higher elevations…deer will definitely cross your path on the remaining drive towards Wrightwood. There can be football size rocks around certain turns due to wildlife moving around in the hills or worse…heavy rain/weather/rockslides will deposit rocks the size of the hood of your car across the road. On the bright side…you’re lucky to see a dozen cars on that road driving home after work. You’ll see a lot of manufacturers testing their camouflaged vehicles there as well due to how vacant it usually is…pretty cool! Used to drive that road home everyday for nearly 2 years. Good Times!😁👍
Loved the video. Did you chat with the GTI owner? I think that must’ve been just as much fun for them!
I did! He was having a blast
Man.. you and the Topher are making a pretty damm good case for California. Every canyon video just makes me want to move up there a little bit more.
dont, its stupid expensive to live here in every facet. and the car modification laws are the strictest in the country. I moved here almost 15 years ago and while california is beautiful and has alot to offer i think theres overall better quality of life elsewhere. moving out of here next year thank god. im over it
@@StrongerThanEver84 That’s what is most intriguing to me. The car community there is arguably one of the largest, the roads are unmatched and for someone like myself who needs to drive to stay sane. Having the Nurburgring in your backyard could be a big enough prize to pay for the bs that goes on there. But i know it’s not all blue skies and sunshine. Maybe restarting somewhere i can be free is not such a bad idea after all. Thanks for the info though.
@@StrongerThanEver84 Tedward is correct regarding how crazy the daily commuters drive on that highway(Pearblossom route mainly) I’ve seen about 6 really bad wrecks on that road…mainly from commuters choo choo training closely around blind corners at high speeds. One stalled vehicle/wildlife and the rest is history. A lot of vehicles are at the bottom of those canyons. The way Tedward went towards Wrightwood is a lot more vacant…just watch out for large rocks and deer in the higher elevations. Nice drive though…
don't listen to Mel Low. Just an anecdote but I literally doubled my salary to 200k by moving to California. My COL barely increased. You just have to be smart with your money.
Man that MK7 was ripping
Bet that Golf owner is a fan and had no idea he was being recorded
great video! If you ever return to GVBC, def head up early morning for the fog and sunrise. Also the nice cars that show up earlier usually leave around 9:00am :(
That’s the best time. But my car didn’t get to me until about 9 and I was 1.5 hours away
@@TedwardDrives ah I see, so cool to see your POV at my local playground haha! Wish I could stop by and say hi but I went up the week before! Some of the frequents got nice shots of you driving!
Cool! Send any photos on Instagram if you have them :)
@@TedwardDrives will do!
This is what this car was made for. Not gonna kill on a straight but it carves those canyons.
That road looks like a tire shredder!
Local advantage is great. I daily commute a 20 mile canyon, and used to drive a pickup. I couldn't keep with the gt3's but I could eat up anything that wasn't German sports car (or any altima cause I'm not tryna die)
I wish my Veloster N DCT had a huge gear indicator dead center whenever I’m in manual mode.
I have an fl5 just like that one and would love to take it on those roads. I’m from LA and did you say that the meet is every Friday?
How do you get that level of dynamic range? My DJI action 2 doesn't seem to do it out of the box.
Man that road must’ve been so fun compared to the roads in Mass. All we have are on and off ramps🤣
This is my dream❤
What a road...
5:49 I saw one video on instagram where a local in 2005 VW Polo with 90 hp was faster then a guy in 2020 VW Tiguan with 200+ hp
That road looks like heaven lol
9:35 check out Safa Brian's channel for canyon carving descents on his bicycle.
so cool!
always worth the 1 hour and 30 min drive to get there
Damn Tedward I chose the wrong day to miss GVBC! Would have loved to meet you, hope you enjoyed the roads here in socal!
Haha never mind I was there that day! We were coming down the mountain as you were coming up.
Haha damnit! What car were you in
@@TedwardDrives a silver 10th gen si and my friend in his silver 350z in front of me. We were probably like 5-10 minutes behind that orange Lotus, Supra, and 911. I think I recall seeing a white FL5 coming up
About what fuel consumption shall one expect at this kind of road with the type R ?
I was a little shocked when you turned the engine off a few seconds just after you parked when the engine was still very hot after all that high rpm's cruising.
Thats a sleeper GTI, If he runs canyons its probably not stock and pushing a little over stock numbers
Hey could anyone tell me what those indents are on either side of the double yellow marking lines?
these asseto corsa graphics gettin wild
Looked like fun! How would you have felt if you were driving the Si, instead? Would it have made you happy, as well? And here's a question -- new Si, or a 10-year-old BMW 320i (yes, the 2.0 with 181hp)? From a driving perspective only. Would love to know if you have an opinion.
Any car can be fun on angeles crest haha
@@ciello___8307 Fair enough. But I am specifically looking at these two and he has experience with the new Civic Si and BMWs of various types.
My idea of heaven!
just driving on this road in Assetto Corsa lol, hope someday can do it IRL.
Oh my god, seeing this relaxed footage makes me realize how friggin fast Matt Farah was driving the Taycan around this road. Musta been doing 110 in the turns you were pulling 60 in. Holy shit
Muito bom Tedward, Type R é um carro incrível, tenho um Civic Si no Brasil e acho uma das melhores sensações de dirigir, excelente carro meu amigo
Nossa mano, muito bom te ver por aqui!
ahhh the type R again
“I can’t imagine climbing this on a bike, that sucks” hahahaha 😂
Is that car faster than your e92 m3 in that windy road?
I should take advantage of being close by and drive it more often
The person in the mdx knew what’s up and is a G for letting u pass
Agreed
@@TedwardDrives OMG! No way tedward just replied to my comment😱. Made my day right before my forth exam of the day 😭
This video reminded me how lucky i am to be in california
That GTI was moving!
What's the destination called ?
In Tokyo the car sean is the opposite at night 🌙 😅
