I love pushing the Z from about 25 MPH to the speed limit.
Less than 2 miles ahead is my exit. I have to toe-heel from 6th down to 2nd to take the curve of the exit ramp, which is over 90 degrees from the start of the ramp to to the stop sign at the end.
This whole trip takes less than 2 minutes. No speed limits are broken, but my heart rate is pounding like I just took a Zumba class behind Kim Kardashian.
I take this trip daily in Dickson City, PA.
Where are your favorites?
