The biggest problem that I have on these "windey hilly lonely little roads" is that they are all speed limited at 55mph....and the deer population is out of hand.....the independent rear suspension, and 4 wheel disc brakes combined with a very heavy ol' Benz makes the durn car wanna travel at 70mph or so....so I have to be careful on nice days with the sunroof open, keep slowed down and alert for those deer...
