My wife and I will fly from Houston to Dallas to pick up the CAR and thus enjoy the drive (however ugly the scenery) back to Houston to ourselves. First long trip will be to Leadville, Colorado next summer.

GhostTiger,

Hockley Valley is just north of Orangeville, Hockley Valley Resort

I gotta check out that road near Brampton, it is actually called Forks of the Credit Road.

I'll take a drive up there when the leaves start changing, too bad I won't be driving an '05 (don't ask what I will be taking)
Ok, I won't ask.

I drove that road in my Cobra last fall.....it's worth the trip. Curves are few and far between down my way. BTW, know anyone interested in buying a '97 Cobra ragtop in the spring? Gotta lose it before I can buy an 05 GT ragtop....

When I get my next stang...hopefully within the next couple years, I will take her for a long cruise down the 101 from SoCal to the Bay Area to visit some relatives and back down again and go straight to Vegas and take a little detour around the Grand Canyon on the way back to Temecula.
Oh, I forgot...I will also be cruisin around all the hotspots in LA and Vegas to pick up on some chicks with my bros.

IMO, there's only one place to go . . . the Tail of the Dragon, Deal's Gap, North Carolina. 11 miles, 318 turns. I've driven it twice and it is awesome.

Indystang, you need to give this a bid when you go to Smokey Mtn. Nat'l Park. You won't regret it.
I just might do this Muzzy6 I have a motorcycle (929) and have heard stories about this stretch of road. I am getting the map out later today to see if it's do-able on my schedule. Thanks for the reminder :drive:

A beautiful fall day, in a new mustang, driving the Pacific Coast Highway all the way up the coast. Now that's what I'd call a Dream Cruise.

When my '06 GT comes in, Which should be around April, I plan on 3 trips. The first aren't too long, as I am in Pennsylvania. The first is this: I haven't been to the Baltimore Aquarium in a long time, so I want to drive down there, plus, once it gets warmer out, I am going to take it to LBI (New Jersey Shore). I get 1 Saturday off per month, so I am going to go down to the beach, as my Aunt has a beach house down there.

But the one I can't wait to take is up to Greenwich, Conn, to see the Greenwich Concourse. I'll be going on June 4th. That day is for the exotics, and european cars. That will be a FANTASTIC drive in my new car. I can't wait for April to arrive.
