The second time I did it was driving down out of the mountains of Chattanooga, TN and it was almost like looking down a roller coaster for about 3 mi. Creeped past 125 for a minute, thought about my wife asleep next to me and don't think I have been over 100 since.
Not even in my Bugatti Veyron. Or my dad's Blackhawk. |
Yes, but the roads we're discussing up here in Ct. are not half as hazardous as the ones you have out that way. You guys have regular interstates out that way that have serious turns, etc. Even our "worst" here, is not as dangerous as your "Average" road out there. We've got it easy compared to the area you're talking about.
