I used to have time to cruise. Now all I do is work. This thread makes me depressed.

Blue Ridge parkway, two weeks ago in the v8 Miata:











All pics were taken from a moving vehicle, mainly moving at an excessive rate of speed...sideways, on icy roads, with the top down. Loads of fun, btw.

I have video as well, but its waaaaay too incriminating.

i usually do riverside drive just because its close to where i live so its a quick easy scenic drive... sometimes if i have more time i'll go way out patterson past the prisons, its not as scenic as it is just a good place to haul ass on a bike but theres a few decent views
