And Good Driving Roads near Silver Spring and/or Annapolis MD?
 
I'm north of the area, but potentiall test driving a car near 29/200 in silver spring. Not terribly familiar with the area, but lookign for a nice curvey backroad near by for test drive purposes?

Same Question for Annapilis area Near Rt 50 and West Streets..

Thanks in Advance..

Best bet might be to look at satellite view on a map app. Avoid direct routes between population centers and watch out for dirt roads to avoid. Might want to ask when you get there.

Yeah, I did do that, but it looks like mostly business parks, shopping centers and residential neighborhoods..

That's my experience as well lol. Depending on how long of a drive, there's some decent roads north of Silver Spring and to the southwest of Annapolis. I don't live in that area so I can't really be much help. Consider posting on the Mid-Atlantic regional section?

FWIW, hopefully you don't mind me saying this, but if you do find a decent fun backroad, take it easy, especially this time of year with cold road, leaves, etc. Wouldn't want ya getting messed up.

Anyway, if you find some good ones definitely report back!

This is a good point. I think they still come with summer touring tires.

Looks like it still has the factory equipment Primacy (Prius) tires (and some curbed up wheels)..

Yeah, I'd be careful with those, especially depending on how old they are (shouldn't be _super_ old since that's a performance pack wheel, so at most maybe 6 years old). They definitely can get loose in a hurry in the right (or wrong) conditions.

Not really.

I suggest you drive to Denver, then head Northwest.
