I don't really want to post exactly where i love to drive my S but it is along the river. Nice twistys.
I'd like to drive the S on the Dragon. Also around the big island of Hawaii would be pretty sweet...

I've driven a ton of the roads in Southern California from Santa Barbara down to San Diego; my all time favorite right now is going from Gorman to Ojai by taking Cerro Noroeste and Highway 33. Both roads are very rarely used but offer a sprinkling everything that is great about mountain roads. High speed turns, tight technicals, and plenty of straight wide open throttle oppurtunities. Not to mention the views...

Driving Mississippi River Road north of New Orleans provides nice curves and fun to drive at 10 over.
A new I-10 interchange entrance and subsequent exit provides a short time thrill. Enter a 75 degree right turn in 4th gear with quick 90 degree left; 50 yards to a 3rd gear downshift and a sweeping 270 degree right turn increasing radius; accelerate into designated right lane of 5 lane interstate vtec all the way to 6th gear for a 1 mile run to exit. Downshift to fifth coming into right 75 degree exit; engine brake; downshift to fourth coming to a left 75 degree turn; 150 feet to right hairpin brake hard downshift to 2nd; check traffic to left; accelerate hard on to service road; 2nd and 3rd vtec; shift to 4th back off; ½ mile to 90 degree left downshift to 2nd and cruise at 20mph to home. Look in mirror at sh*t eating grin
Twice a year to the Dragon.

Just did California Highway 1 up to Big Sur, it has to be one of the greatest roads out there. Lots of hairpins and nice straights, all while you are next to the ocean... but at times you get the slow pokes heading up the coast so unless you are willing to make some hairy passes you can be stuck doing 45. Also really like highway 58 that heads from the coast of Cali to the central valley, no one is ever on it and it has alot of long straights with small bunny hills

California's Highway 36 Fortuna to Red Bluff. 140 miles of pure goodness. There might be 10 miles of straight away (any thing over a 1/4 mile), no BS. If you haven't you should, if you have you'd be willing to do it again.
