Hwy 94 to Highway F from St. Charles MO to New Melle Mo. Good combination of curves and straights, it's a fun stretch.



Missouri Hwy 19 from Salem to Eminence MO is also a fantastic road but I haven't had the chance to make it there since I got my s2000; it's like 4 hours from me

I had tons when living in AZ.

Up north:
Flagstaff to Sedona for the scenery and switchbacks but hated the traffic in the summer.
Snowbowl Rd. AMAZING views and almost no traffic if you do it right (but it was under construction last summer )
Walker Rd. in Prescott, AZ for the bonding w/ the Father in-law. He loved the S back in the day, but never got one after he tried sitting in one in a showroom. He figured he'd never fit right (6' 6"-ish). After I got mine, the wife and I went to visit and I adjusted the driver's seat in the S just right to get him to fit and he fell in love. He's done a lot for me and my wife so my longterm plan is to buy a beat up S, fix it up, get a low profile seat or low profile seat rails, and give it to him as a present. First comes the higher income job though...

Down south:
Gates Pass Rd. for the scenery and the twisties, but you have to make sure the traffic is light. Best night road (85 deg. and star-filled skies).
Mission Rd. for the awesome curves, plus it was basically always deserted (maybe saw 1-2 cars per day on the 10-20 mi. stretch, just watch out for the occasional mining semi!). I think I put most of the 500 miles that I racked up in the first week I had my S on this road.
And of course Catalina Hwy. to get out of the heat in the summer (watch out for the 1,000,000,000,000,000 bikers per day, though!).

Now in CO and haven't had a chance to explore with the S yet but sooooooooooooo excited for spring and summer.

Not many good roads in my immediate vicinity, but when possible I drive West Hines Hill Rd., Boston Mills, OH.

There is a nice 4-5 mile stretch of pavement called Dug Hill Road in my area (North East Alabama). It's not a high speed road, but there are alot of curves that can be taken at high speed, very little traffic and alot of trees. Not something to do in the rain, but in dry conditions, I have had some fun with the S on there.

Hwy 47 North, Columbia County, Oregon. 12 miles, no straights, 1000 ft elevation change from bottom to top back down to bottom on the other side. Not for inexperienced drivers, many blind hairpins and depending on time of day could have heavy truck traffic. Excellent views of the Columbia River and Cascade peaks from the summit.
