What's your favorite....

So as I was driving home from campus yesterday, I was thinking about all the different types of roads I drive on on a daily basis and I was wondering what is everyones favorite type of road to drive on (ie 5 lane interstate, back curvy country roads, etc.) and what driving conditions do you prefer?


Me personally...I like back curvy country roads that have been fairly freshly paved, ya know so I don't have to deal with potholes. I like speedin on them and testin the car's handling ability and not usin the break just downshifting or whatever to handle the turns. And I prefer a cloudless 80 degree day so that I can have all my windows down and sunroof open. That's just me though...

i like curvy gravel contry roads. nothing compares with sliding in a turn (accelerating braking and turning at the same time )

I like highways....I get such a rush when I can speed while switching lanes and passing the slow pokes!! I just have to be careful that I don't get

a nice smooth paved road with some nice big flat sections for top end and then some nice turns somewhere down the road. I picture this road being lined with trees, with some sun and the top down..

*gone driving*

i wana revise.. i want a challenging back and forth turning road, that dosnt let me get above 40-50mph so i must keep my driving up the whole time, strait aways are too easy, if i am designing my perfect road, i want hairpins, s-turns, a corkscrew, MAYBE a highspeed banking turn, but lateral speed dosnt do it for me, its the oh shit im glad my seats have lateral support type turns

Freeways own everything. I don't mind speed at all, and this car is pretty well balanced for spirited top end.......ever switched freeways at 130mph? Or buried the speedo by around 3 inches?

I personally like the really tight and narrow one-way inner city streets around 3:00am. Going like 70mph down these streets feels like you're doing 140. I just hope a little kid doesn't pop out of nowhere...but don't worry i keep my thumb on the horn and if that doesn't work I'M NOT STOPING...you can get in serious trouble for that!!...Then would it feel like i'm going 280mph if i do 140? I'll tell you guys soon...
