If any of you are familiar with Charlotte, NC, it was on the eastbound Independence Blvd. on ramp to north bound Eastway...

For those NOT familiar with that stretch, it's an S curve outer ramp of a cloverleaf overpass onramp. Pretty steep rise, curves to the right, then sharply to the left, then sharply back to the right, all while climbing a fairly steep rise to the road....
Are you sure you didn't mean southbound Eastway (towards Monroe Rd)? I have scared myself and many others going up that ramp trying to keep up enough speed to merge left into turn lanes for Monroe Rd!! Grew up about 1/4 mile from that interchange .....

Thinking back, I was driving a full size 1965 Pontiac most of the time and I could slide my friends across the seats and into the windows as that barge listed in the curves ��
