Best drives around Northern VA?

Hey all,

Well seeing as my CL-S has been broken in for a while now, and I'm getting to have fun with it, I'd like to know if anyone has any suggestions for places to take it and push the suspension a bit...

Any nice long rural roads with lots of twisties around this area? I've only been here less than a year so I'm not familiar with the area (but I've got the Navi system )
...And I'm not talking "well 495 has some turns" type, I'm talking "holy shit that Waples Mill is fun" type.

Y'all know what I mean, when you see:

gp 66west.....all the way west close to 81. nice open roads to floor it. not much twisites, though. novawhitetypeS has been there, i've been there. and it's open enough so you can see if there are cops or not. and don't go speeding around waples mill in fair oaks. i live in that area, you might just run me over.
