Don't worry, just giving you a hard time.
Driving through the corners (at reasonable and legal speeds) is one of the most enjoyable aspects of these cars as you well know. Gotta have fun where you can.
If you like driving corners you live in the best place I have found. I have sleighed the dragon at Deals Gap that in my opinion is lame compared to this geographic area in the great US of A.
I may be a little off with the route numbers but I have two loops I regularly drive. I start going up 176 off I26 to Inman and turn left onto highway 11. I continue turning off 11 going to Caesar’s Head on highway 276. (Watch out for the guys on bicycles!) After turning east at Brevard on 276/64 I will either continue on 276 up the hill past sliding rock to the Parkway or continue on 64 to Hendersonville. If I go to the Parkway I head west and exit at route 215 (18 miles of curves) then 64 east to 178 south that takes me back to highway 11. Or, if I go to Hendersonville I take 176 to Saluda down the winding road to Tryon then back to Inman.
Another good drive is north on 221 going to Marion, NC. I take old 221 to the Parkway. A very good BBQ is found at the intersection of old 221 and the parkway at Little Switzerland. I go north on the Parkway and exit at route 221 going south. At the base of Black Mountain is another excellent place to eat that usually has fresh baked sour dough rolls with BBQ sandwich. Then back down 221 to Spartanburg. While on the Parkway I have driven back roads to Blowing Rock or going west on narrow roads thru Boone and ending at a very nice mountain park outside of Bristol, TN.
Just depends on how much seat time you can endure at one time. My wife continues to remind me that when the “ass-o-meter” has expired we had better be back home.
If you like we can get together some Sunday morning and hit the hills…
