The hills of the Ozark/Ouachita Mountains here in Arkansas are indeed some of the best roads I have come into contact with. (I've been all over OK, MO, TX, and KS) This spring I am considering a drive down one called, "Pig Trail" just south of Fayetteville. There are many roads around Jasper, AR that take you high into the hills with absolutely spectacular views.
On weekdays the roads aren't congested, and driving is an absolute pleasure. On the weekend, I've had to deal folks that are used to driving in straight lines on more than one occaison. I love passing them with the ungodly-wonderous sound of my 2.7 @ 5500 RPM telling them just how hapy I am to be passing them.

Mmmm... So many roads, so little time. This is one of my favorites:
Calif. Hwy 88 from Jackson to Kit Carson Pass. This offers great Boxster curves, quaint little towns and breathtaking views of the Sierras. It is off the beaten path a bit so much less traffic than the more popular roads to Tahoe or Yosemite. I spent a lot of time there in my youth but haven't driven it in quite a while. Gotta get back up there.

Once seen, never forgotten, Rattlesnake Grade's narrow switchbacks, precipitous drop-offs and 6- to 9-percent pitches on hwy Oregon 3 and Washington 129 between Enterprise and Clarkston, Wash.

Road Atlanta, Road America, Willow Springs, Virginia International Raceway.......come on guys! If you want to drive the Boxsters for what they are and the speeds they will EASILY achieve, do it on a track.

You don't have to be on a track to safely enjoy a convertible sports car.

Just came back from Deal's Gap (tail of the dragon) lastnight. I must say, it was intense. I'm a little bit dissapointed by the speed limit (30mph) but other than that, those are the curviest twists and turns that I've ever been in. even at 30mph the 11 miles and 318 twists/turns feels like a 2 minute ride.
