It rained here today and I decided to go for a drive and explore some more of the area. I drove out maybe 15 mins from our place here and I must say the roads are fantastic. So many curves and hair pin turns and just out of control roads. This one road called 194, is so ridiculous even with my suspension mods and pushing it hard I could not go over 35-40mph. Had a blast tearing up the roads and pulling some G's. Even pulled over and adjusted my KYB shocks to almost full firm to get the most out of the car. Good stuff I must say. My overall mods made this car so different and much faster around these parts then when it was stock up here 5 years ago (I bought this car up in SC not in Florida and drove it to Boone,NC once we got it).

I wish I had a seat mount for my camera so you could see how dangerous and out of control some of these roads are around here. If I lived here full time I would surely die from driving to hard and sliding off the mountain.

 

Sounds like some fun I'd be but for. That's one bad thing about Texas, everything is flat. The curvature of the Earth does not apply to Texas for some reason. At college were at the edge of the Ozark Mountains so it a little better, but nothing that great. You should make a in-car video mount. I have made a few.

 

wait...spike does curves I thought you were burnouts and straight lines in the stang? lol jk.

sounds sweet man, that is the one thing I love about living in flagstaff and out here in NM at times, is I can head off to the mountains and find some sweet curvy back roads.

 

Gonna be heading over to the tail of the dragon and Deals gap (between Tennessee and NC) next weekend to run the tail of the dragon, 12 miles and 318 corners, roughly 1000' elevation change! Can't wait, gonna be pretty damned awesome.

 

Wait...you took your mustang off road??

 

last time i was on that road i was 14 so i didn't get to drive but i saw a lot of cops, just a heads up if you were never there.

are you on drugs.lol

 

 

They do have roads on mountains ya know......

 

We drove the Deals Gap road 2 years ago in my wifes Concorde, Geez that's a twisty long *** road. Lots of bikers running it almost daily. Saw a group of Harleys pulling their buddy out of a ravine. He was lucky he didn't tumble a few hundred ft. down the cliff.. That roads a big deal up there. Just watch for passing motorist if you want to take it slow..

 

Oh and yes for anyone who has never been to the smokey mountains, There are Paved roads. Most of them are in better shape than most city roads. Check out the Blue Ridge Parkway, You'll be driving for a while and you wont find a single pothole or a curve that doesn't have a decent guardrail. Maybe wooden guardrails but still efficient to keep you from fallin 1000ft to your death..

 

 

Well when I'm not in Orlando where everything is flat and traffic lights everywhere, and hardly any fun roads then yeah I do straight work. I am back now in Orlando so no in car videos. I tried to make a mount and it failed on the first corner so maybe next year I will get one when I go back.

 

This Kinda looks like Grandfather Mountain road going to the top or maybe Mt Mitchell. i forget which one if either, but very similar. Scary as fcking hell going to the top. We went once in a full sized custom van and my Gawwd If you even leave the pavement for a second your gonna roll a thousand times to the bottom. Great pic. man..
