My favorite backroad...
When it comes to me and the ladies, I'm admittedly not the suavest -- here's yet another example of that:
Palo Alto Rendezvous (in a Porsche) - YouTube
In any case, this is one of my favorite backroads -- I know every bump & turn and it feels like you're going really fast even below the posted speed limit (55 mph) and hence quite safe, (although on this particular day we were going to the fatal crash site of my moto race-instructor, Gary Jaehne, to pay respect).

I see why it is your favorite. Very nice. It looks like almost every road within 50 miles of my home in north carolina and I love every one of them. Thanks for the video

Yeah, why take the girl? You just pissed her off which I have to believe killed any possible roll in the hay after the ride. And who wants the constant whine while driving such a great road.

I've taken my mother out in the RUF resulting into similar reactions, the funniest thing she said quote on quote '' Oh son, this isn't so bad now is it! This thing is.. ( I proceed to down shift and punch it) F***ING SON OF A B**TC.''
Weird so see my mother who was always so calm get so damn excited haha!

Hard to really go faster due to blind corners. Reminds me of a New Zealand rally stage we did in '08. The only difference is it was gravel.

Peer - I'm sure I'll get slammed for this but I would be careful posting videos like this. She clearly was scared (I don't know why) and asked you to stop, I'm not a lawyer but I would think she could use this against you.
Ok everyone pounce on me now
