Is there a web site for "Good Drives"?

There has to be a database somewhere showing routes that are scenic and/or great to wind a sports car out. Does anyone know of one? I'm looking for a nice drive in the North East. (Altitude changes, twisties, long straights, cool views, ...) For some reason, I don't think my car's using its full potential within Manhattan.

Drive to EPL, get flashed, drive up in to Litchfeild County Ct... out near Lime Rock. There are GREAT roads out that way.

We're ready for you, call Robin to schedule an appointment!

Haha. I'm booked on all of these weekends with little kids' birthday parties. When does my car get its birthday present? I'll come see you sooner than later. I promise.

A great area we always drive through is the Lake Welch and Bear Mtn areas - lots of twisties and beautiful scenery. Coming from Manhattan, take the Palisade Pkwy North after you cross the GW Bridge and you'll see the exits near the end of it. Careful on the Palisades - Pkwy Police and NYSP patrol there...

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try one of these days. May have to it on the way back from EPL.

Ive posted several of my favorite roads on the following site. Great concept never really seemed to take off though. Some of the listings are user tests or just not that great.

please note a major automotive parts manufacturer is the creator/sponsor of the site.

Interesting. Maybe there's a business case for a better site. (Ha. I've got enough on my plate.)

btw looks like the site i mentioned above is dead. If anyone has a good replacement that would be awesome. Always looking for fun new roads in the Philly metro area.
