OT - For Car Lovers: Some Recent Exotic Spottings

I am familiar with (never driven ) The Tail of the Dragon but appreciate all that those drives offer both in driving and camaraderie.  No doubt the roads in that part of GA offer the same adrenaline rush for the drivers.

@lousubcap People are very serious about their cars here. There are a couple of regionally well known, great mountain driving roads in North GA. Those guys lay it out up there. Organized groups with group communication headsets to avoid the po-po  

Just where did you learn this info about “those guys”? 😉

I may or may not be a member of relevant social media groups.

i have driven the dragon multiple times from an “a to b” perspective. i.e. “in the way” of super bikes.  one time was in the spectacularly unexotic civic sedan downhill on fumes and bought the last tank of gas at the end before they closed up for winter. now that is danger lol. you are correct cap that there are a million curvy cruises available. fair to say the nc/ga side of the smokies is much better for recreational cruising than the tn side which is more evolved commercially.  the traffic north of atlanta is extending the commute time to get there somewhat but generally still very accessible. 

perhaps a fun youtube dash cam perspective video link would be good for the flatlanders on the site

I would feel quite comfortable taking a bet on the revelant social groups of which you may belong.  And it is great that you are able and deservedly enjoy.

Here’s a video (not mine) of Wolf Pen Gap Rd (GA SR180). It’s a spirited drive as Cap says.

Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company (soon to be sold to the Abu-Dhabi government) sure does make some absolutely beautiful cars!

Today I saw my very first "Deplorian" (tesla) truck, turned right while I was waiting to turn left.  No pics.  Odd in real life.

He was headed to a meet at a local state park.  It was basically new, he has put a lift kit in it, upgraded shocks, and prepping it for going out.  He said it will go way farther than he is willing to take it.

The 1960s were some of Mercedes best designs. So elegant and classy. The 80s models are iconic as well.
