I know just the roads to test them on too

US 101:

(Lovely view, bumpy ride)

CA 150:

(Another scenic route, but the best time to drive is around 3:30am when you have the whole road to yourself)

Just another mountain pass:

(The Japanese word touge comes to mind)

CA 33:

And
https://www.google.com/maps/preview/...8r8a4topUw!2e0
(No joke, I've called in sick to work before just to drive it multiple times in one day)

I'll be sure to take plenty of pics and I'll use my GoPro to record some video of the ride quality both inside and out. We've also got track events coming up at both Big Willow and Buttonwillow.

I'm curious to see how well the car would feel approaching turn 9 at Big Willow. That's a pretty fast section and the ride can get a bit bumpy. Then there's Buttonwillow, which can often times feel like you're participating in the Baja 500. Definitely a fun track despite the rough stuff (or should I say it's fun because of it?)
