To make the long story short...I just got home putting about 2000 miles on my new baby. Left a couple of moons ago, odometer showed 875 miles. Dallas -> Oklahoma City -> Whichta -> Denver ->

Winter Park -> Colorado Spring -> Armarillo -> Whichta Falls -> Dallas. Odometer shows 2,850 now. Tired and happy...Between 90 and 100 mph most of the time. Went up to 120 mph somewhere near Texas and New Mexico border:thumb: I took a picture with one hand holding the wheel, hope it comes out OK. Too tired to type now.....Zzzz

Unfortunately no, we went straight up to PA so we were in the skinny part of NC. That _does_ certainly look like some good fun though!

Around Xmas 98 I got to drive on about maybe 3 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville before we had to get off because they had closed it (winter weather). That area was beautiful and the first time I had ever seen snow and mountains in my life.

You don't know fun (hah) till you've driven on Highway 49 south of Yosemite in California. That road is just evil. I wish I had the bimmer when I decided to take that road.

Hairpin turns right on the edge of cliffs :thumb:

Yes, its a site, the parkway is now all open finally, its been closed i sections since last year due to snow... the Cali drive you are talking about, maybe one day I can see that one

California is great for awesome scenic/fun drives. I mentioned Highway 49 but there are an infinite amount of roads there that have "hairpin turns right on the edge of cliffs."

If you ever get a chance to do a round-about tour of California, I highly recommend it. I was lucky that I got to live there (miss it a lot). If I flew in I'd probably want to shell out the cash to rent a sports car for the drive as opposed to a dodge neon at rent a wreck

If you drive from the east there -- be careful on the interstates -- my car got ripped a new one in Wyoming by semi trucks machine-gunning pebbles at me with their tires :bawling:
