Perfect Early Morning (Joy) Ride

quadpipes · 06-12-2009, 01:37 PM

Took a very early morning round-trip to Mobile airport this morning. One hour each way. Had pax on the way there but just me on the way back. All back winding Southern Alabama and Mississippi roads. Little or no traffic. Very smooth – almost perfect - pavement all the way (no frost heaves in the deep south). Lots of slow winding curves with straightaways coming in and going out. Big orange sun just coming up on the horizon - but great visibility of the empty road ahead. Mid-seventies (deg F). Cloudless sky. Sunroof open. Radio off. Some fog over the ponds along the route. Mucho opportunities to open up, enjoy the engine's music AND JUST FLY! What a great way to start the day in such an awesome car. Here’s hoping that each of you get that same opportunity soon!! Any recent similar experiences?

I live in Jersey...I will never get that same experience you have. LoL! Now I'm starting to understand the "Armpit of America" joke.

NJ= Fail.

Pop-You have to leave bergen county--take a ride down 287 to 78 or 80 then get off and drive around farm country -- or bear mountain and the like

Couldn't agree with you more: NJ does equal fail. That is why my wife (from NJ) quickly agreed to move to beautiful PA before we got married. Here I got miles and miles of back roads, no cops, and nothing but fun

Cheers,

I might make a trip to bear mountain this summer...but that's no where near north jersey...so overall, NJ still equals fail.

I have a similar ride here in Michigan that I enjoy once or twice a week. It's approximately 16 miles of curvy, winding, hilly roads with posted speeds of 55 mph so that means 65 to 70. Sometimes the windows are up and sometimes they're down. That kind of driving is what this car is meant to do. A truly amazing car indeed.

All things being equal, would rather be in SoCal driving on ISFail's backroads...
