When you DD your Z what kind of road makes you smile the most?

DIGItonium · 09-21-2013, 02:48 AM

The ones that doesn't have crazy drivers who provoke, tailgate, and cut two lanes over to side swipe me. Yes, it happened tonight. My newly painted fender and wheel lip are scraped. He tailgated and followed me to the stop light after exiting the freeway to accuse me of trying to hit him and trying to dial the cops by waiving my phone. I told him I was simply trying to get away from him, and that I did try to call the cops on him.

Afterward the light changed, and we drove normally to the next intersection. He turned left, and I turned right. I honestly didn't want to confront him and escalate the situation any further. Plus, I had a hard time identifying the car and license plate. It was some old wagon like it was an 80's VW. I don't know. He was provoking me, and I got scared and wanted to get away.

At the same time I couldn't call 911 on my phone. It kept saying the line was busy. I couldn't get a hold of 911 once I got home, and my neighbor (former officer) couldn't believe it.

I always travel armed. The 2nd amendment makes one feel better when the wolves come out. I keep a nine mil behind my passenger seat just for that kind of scenario. (Its a cute lil p938) Call the police AFTER you have defended yourself I say! (to each his own of course)

my DD is an awesome run down 285 into Denver, unfortunately Colorado is big into traffic "revenues" so I have to soak it up at very mellow speeds. (or find a good rabbit!)

The 15 miles of back country road that I take to and from work.

Early Saturday and Sunday mornings are great.

blackcherry20 · 09-21-2013, 09:06 AM

My daily 45 mile commute is full of win...little traffic and lots of twisties

so true

also, the little exits on the freeway that dont actually make you get off, the ones that put you back on the fwy 15 cars ahead haha. Usually a bit curvy. 405 south cherry north exit is the best. Up an incline and right back down with a right turn into it. Closes thing to canyon roads while works busy

Shadezz · 09-22-2013, 11:00 AM

Yeah....I'm all over Denver driving. When I get behind the wheel of my Z...really any road can be fun. I like longs curves, switch backs and bends in the mountains, but i do like a challenge in the city with traffic. Best of both worlds I guess. Oh did I mention that "Friday open lap days" are becoming part of my "Work" from 6am-12:30 PM. So every other Friday morning drive to Byers, Co is quite a good one watching the sun come up and getting track time!!

nmjaxx9 · 09-22-2013, 02:52 PM

Twisties mos def.

Naum16 · 10-03-2013, 01:33 PM

at Night turning onto an interstate take the curved ramped super fast nothing better feeling then zooming on to highway feeling the car just grip the road so perfectly.

newyen27 · 10-03-2013, 01:48 PM

Being in the Northeast, a smooth road of any kind will make me smile. Smooth twisties make me pee my pants.

I know those drivers. Most of them have either MO plates or JOCO KS plates and are absolute morons. Seems to me to be the height of stupidity to mess with someone with a veterans tag and a USMC sticker. I carry a SIG P229 in my daily travels just for jackwagons like that.

Haboob · 10-03-2013, 02:49 PM

Not a single road in Phoenix, that's for damn sure.

I have yet to take it on any "fun" roads. Hopefully I will be heading North this weekend!
