Favorite Drive Describe your favorite drive in your T/A, the type drive that puts a smile on your face while cruising in your fully detailed machine.
Driving the Blue Ridge PKWY (any length of it) is the ultimate here in the mountains. Cool fresh air with views forever on those clear Spring or Fall days, especially with the top down.
A close second, that is mainly geared to bikers, is the 'Tail of the Dragon' that stretches from NC to TN, getting to be known as the ultimate driving challenge with recent write-ups in Hemmings and other car magazines.

i pull out of my driveway.. point in the opposite direction of the mall.. and go .. its perfet.. but more specifically.. Everyone around here likes to cruise through valley forge park but if you really want a good drive you drive through it to the other side and its just open roads everywhere with great views...

I know you said favorite drive in your T/A...but I don't care.
I like to drive through the country (the boonies), I hate it when people are in front of/behind me when I'm out on a cruise. There's practically nobody out there, the scenery is breathtaking, and 1/2 of my favorite route was freshly paved last year. All the gas stations are small and reminiscent of the old-fashioned kind, no mega-12 pump places with a Dunkin' Donuts. In the fall the New England foilage is nice, and there's a smokehouse that always seems to be smoking ham in October (can be smelled for miles). The one time I've seen a cop with radar, I was doing 25mph over the limit and he just watched me go by.

I really dont have a favorite place, just due to scenery or traffic.....But it's the back roads going out of a town or around a major city. Not much traffic if any, just to cruise, and be able to open her up on the starights and hold a nice line on the twisties!

My favorite drive would have to be the full loop around Oahu, Hawaii on a sunny day with my girlfriend and the tops off my camaro. Usually start up on North Shore and go down to Waikiki and come up around the windward side tryin to stay on Kam Highway the majority of the time.

Cool Drives Hwy 23 south from Eureka Springs, Ark. Or hwy 540 north into Fayetteville,Ark. My personal favorite would have to be the 90 mile stretch across the Talimena mountains starting from Mena, Ark. and continuing on into Broken Bow, Oklahoma. All of it across the top of those mountains. Mile after beautiful mile of scenic overlooks. No gas stations or food vendors, just mountain top scenes and forest. Bikers come from miles around from as far away as Texas and Louisiana to challenge the curves and steep valleys. You will be driving into clouds at times, its that high of elevation . At times you just want to pull over and try to take it all in. Be sure to bring a camera and binoculars . This road was made for convertbiles and tee-top cars and bikers. If you are a driver and who amongst us isn't, who just loves the enjoyment of driving just for the sake of driving you will continue to come back to these mountains at least once a year, where there is little or no traffic to speak of ,oh, you may pass another vette or two but mostly only people like us ,enjoying or cars ~ with or without our ladies ~ & music blasting out our favorite cd.
