I've never been to it, but if you have a heavily trafficked road (and possibly heavily policed), perhaps add in some reckless drivers, and that's a recipe for annoyance.

I looked at it this way - living in CT, I never thought I would have the chance to drive TotD. Yes, it's a bit out of the way coming back from Spartanburg, but we were a helluva lot closer to it than we were likely to ever be. As for the road itself, being so packed with tight hairpins made it easier to enjoy it with the car right at the beginning of break in - there was no need to push it hard. It also wasn't crowded at all, being around dusk on a weekday. About the only traffic we encountered was some very impatient motorcycles.
