Talking Gotta love livin' in the country...

Just took the GT3 out for a spirited drive at 7pm, 27 miles, never was behind a single car, not a single stop sign, not a single stop light. I passed 3 total cars coming the other direction... And of course the roads are quite curvy out here...

Yea I lived outside of Boston for a year, you have to get out a good way (like central NH!) before you escape traffic no matter what time of day....

Cole,

Not a hunter but not opposed to it. The only huntin' I've done is for beaver.

But that was back in college.

I too drove 27 miles today . . . . and I was surrounded and impeded by cars, stop signs and traffic lights the entire time. I'm moving to Central Virginia!!!

Carbon -- yup, it is. That's the view from our deck. You spend time up in this neck of the woods?

I have.
Lots of bicycle riding on the Ridge and Skyline.
Did Swannanoa to Roanoke one day, and saw more deer than cars!
You've got PERFECT roads up there.

i grew up in upstate NY in farm country. i LOVED taking my C4 up there to visit my parents. if you saw 2 cars it was a traffic jam! i'd regularly go 100+ on those curvy country roads. it was always exciting because you could never tell where you were going to come across some loose dirt in the road from some tractor coming out of a field. i had fun sliding around on that stuff a few times (and giving myself a few heart attacks)! and one minor accident when i hit some coming over a blind hill at night at very high speed... would you believe that you can get a C4 out of a 3 foot deep dirt ditch? and that was after going airborne with all 4 wheels for about 30 feet, maybe more. i didn't have a tape measure with me the next day when i went back to pick up the pieces of the underbody that had gotten ripped off... i drove it home 12 miles after that. the suspension didn't even get out of alignment. it did however require the purchase of some paint, a new front bumper cover, and litronics (they got scratched up pretty good from the flying debris).

Drove 400 miles yesterday, mostly backroads of South Carolina. Never passed one other Porsche either way.

But yeah mon, those open back roads are awesome.
