Its the one, that follows a creek, and has 13 corners in a less than a mile. But yeah If i remember correctly chris did take you down it when you were here picking up your car.

Oh and Mendon Ponds is fun to blast through.. Thats not far from you right? It's in my back yard (at school).

If you really want a fun road... RT 8 through the Adirondacks. It's my second favorite road I've ever driven. But thats only because i was spoiled by taking CA rt 1 from San fran to oregon.

I drove that fairfax-bolinas road a few years ago, and it was pretty awesome. Unfortunately I did it in an old Ford truck with a bunch of hiking buddies. The scenery through there is amazing though. Probably is not the road to push your car on b/c if you wipe it you'll find yourself in a LARGE redwood grove, or careening of a VERY high cliff!

Yeah, Mendon Ponds is a couple miles away, but with all the deer and cops I tend to avoid it.

Highway 41 down to the Yosemite Valley is fun too. Did that in a Toyota Matrix rental.... None of my three coworkers who were with me enjoyed it like I did though...

Is there a Rennlist record for most passengers complaining of nausea at the same time? Im at three now

last i drove the fairfax-bolinas road was in my 4runner lost, going on a food run, at 11 at night, in the rain, in 4wheel drive, with my girlfriend..

good times.. gotta love those speed limits though, the speedlimit on the mount tam road (much resemlbing this one) is 45 in some places.. it seems slow but once you come to one of the many hairpin turns (especially the ones without signs warning of their presence) you start to feel a whole lot more comfortable at 30.

something i'll have alot of fun on with the 944.. manual steering and everything. better than 24 hour fitness!

Ask Bill about twisty mountain roads and deer and such and you'll learn to obey those speed limits.

Tim,

A-men! There's some great roads here in California (took my dad's ///M5 on one today), but I'm a really big fan of Germantown.

By the way, would anybody be interested in doing this one weekend?

This in my opinion is one of the more scenic stretches along Highway One.

It stretches between Pacifica, CA to Carmel, CA

We could meet up one weekend morning for breakfast, either in San Francisco or in Pacifica which ever is preffered, then head down to Carmel in time for a late Lunch.

Just a suggestion. Anyone thats interested let me know, if i get enough reply's here, i'll repost it to the main board.
