I didn't drive the dragon till the day after having all of those beers. I did drive up to the cabin we stayed at but the dragon and the other surrounding roads we drove were the following day.Thanks. You should make a trip up with us in the S2000. You and the wife should come up. I bet you would love it.

You do have me though my V is probably way too babied. You want to come to NC and show me how to take care of her.
back atcha...
to be honest...having the car out for a week has really made me realize just how much I fucking love this thing.
I can't wait to drive it again...and although I do love how great the S2000 drives and how engaged the manual keeps me...
I keep thinking, I kinda wouldn't mind not shifting and moving my left leg all the time.
Acceptance! I love my V!!!!
My favorite road up there isn't even the dragon. It is actually a road you take to get to the dragon called hellbender. I did one run on that giving it flat out. I have an 8min video from my gopro of that I need to get edited. I haven't even watched it yet.

Man I was really surprised I got my girlfriend to go on it this year. She normally gets car sick from cars I have had lately. For some reason though regardless of the road the TSX has never made her sick. She hates roads with water along the side which hellbender has for about 50% of and she hated that part. Especially when I was pushing hard enough to even cause the TSX to slide a little in the corners. I would definitely be down for that if you want to come up. We are already looking to book a cabin for the first weekend in November again. Maybe we can get the Penguin to go too.

You guys watch this ish.. creepy AF. Even though he was just about 50 yards from the road, there wasn't much left to indicate they were down there.
I think someone was taking a piss and heard / saw him.
They found him 2 days later.. his buddy was DOA.

Kevin Diepenbrock, 41, originally from Greenville, Texas, says his final goodbyes to his family after he and another motorcyclist crashed on a stretch of U.S. Highway 129 known as "The Dragon" on Oct. 15, 2016, and tumbled down a rocky embankment. Diepenbrock, who suffered two punctured lungs, 17 breaks in 12 ribs, and multiple spinal fractures, was found more than 24 hours after the crash. The other motorcyclist, Phillip Polito, 29, of Perryville, Mo., died. (Video courtesy of Kevin Diepenbrock)

He said he fucked up, I bet he tried to pass where he shouldn't and took his buddy out with him.
Jason, wanna meet at a brewery and just exchange handjobs in the car after instead? Fuck that, I'm going home to my wife and kid after.

Come on don't bail out on a dragon trip. They are great. To be honest most of the roads around the area are better than the dragon. You go to the dragon and do it once or twice during the trip but driving the rest of the roads in the area is the real treat in my opinion. The dragon itself most of the time gets to clogged up and you can't get any good flow. In our two different down and back runs on the dragon there was only 1 time I was the lead car and I got to have a clean run at for about a 10min stretch. Other than that I was always behind someone having to go whatever speed they go at.
But yes we can go to breweries too

No no no. Breweries the day before the dragon.
Breweries Friday on the way up to enjoy beer and stock up for Friday and Saturday night. Party Friday night. Drive Saturday all day for like 5-7hrs. Party Saturday night. Drive a couple runs Sunday and then head home. Maybe stop at breweries on the way home to stock up for home.

I figured once liquored up enough that was just an implied activity. Doesn't everyone do that when drunk.
