lol, Idaho, of course. Land of spuds and low taxes. And roads just like the Sierras too? Excellent.

In addition to now recommending Idaho, I def recommend the Cambodian beaches (great pic btw!). Tho you guys wouldn't like the "twisities" much there, between the dirt and the land mines. Save a lot on reg tax I am sure. ~1000 Riel/yr. Twenty five cents.

It's so childish and immature to be arguing about which state has the best roads.

Oh wait, this is the internet...I'll play. Check this out -

I've traveled all over the country and was always glad to be back in CA. My 2nd choice would be Southern Oregon.

Good God!

Someone might want to remind the author of that article that Danica Patrick is female.

I quote: "But when these guys note their favorite places to motor, you might want to read closely." When the author uses the expression "these guys" he is referring to Patrick, LaSorda, and Schwarzenbauer.

Also: "Patrick loves Highway 1 around Monterey, because of its curves and beauty--his fantasy is to be the only one on it."

Um... HIS fantasy? Oh boy! Pun intended. This yahoo just violated the rules they taught in Journalism 101 and in the process makes himself look like a complete goober who doesn't know racecar drivers from printer drivers.

Tail of the Dragon anyone would be hard pressed to find a better driving road.

Besides, I don't take driving tips from Forbes Magazine. Business ideas, maybe. Driving ideas, not thanks.

Awh c'mon...you could probably find a dozen better roads than Tail of the Dragon!
There's no scenery on that road...it's like you're lost in the woods or something. Sure, the amount of turns is great, but who wants to deal with all the cops and traffic?

To me, I think you'd find some of the best roads in North America to be on the Pacific Coast highway in northern California, or maybe something through the Canadian Rockies. Actually...I'm sure they're in every state (except Ohio probably...the most boring state ever)...and they all have their different moods. The Dragon doesn't appeal to me though.

Whoa guess I started somthing,sorry. We had just had a great 200 mile fall color ride. for really great driving road info check, pashnit.com. Our next is the "1st annual rice fields to the beach 42nd honeymoon rally". oh yea I did see 4 CHP cars ,3 at the cop shop in Quincy 1 at the subway.
