I love taking OR-223 from Wren-Monmouth... some good curves (blind unfortunately so you can't totally bomb them,) and a several-mile straight stretch with great visibility.

The fridge HATES beer, so I try to consume it as quick as possible. Haha.

IPAs or ESBs are always good!

haha, i agree. but there are some towns in between where you have to drive through at like 25. makes the trip seem longer IMO. Since theres like 3 towns you have to drive threw.

Basic rule! Remember there's a difference between our "SPEED" signs and the "SPEED LIMIT" signs you see on the freeway. The LIMIT signs are actually an imposed limit, going 66 in a 65 on a clear summer day can mean a ticket. SPEED signs are a suggestion for all conditions, if the weather and visibility are great and you're an experienced driver in a high performance car, there's no reason not to exceed that. Just drive whatever speed feels safe. Personally, in the town that drops it to 35 on that road I'm usually going around 45, and the one that drops it to 45 I don't even slow down once I'm past the church where there are actually people.

That said, if you are going over the posted speed in a school zone or a neighborhood you deserve to be shot. Kids are unpredictable.

Not worth the risk. I'd do 3-5 over if anything. But i'd rather pay for new mods than new tickets.

I don't mind cruising through those small towns... as long as there are people out to see how cool we all are.

[DarrenDriven]

Uh-oh, I might have to back out of the hanging out portion of the day. I agreed to go on a brewery tour with some friends and they just emailed me saying the tour starts at 1:30p on Saturday. Damn.

[QFry]

no problem here...ill just see if John and Jason at Nameless want to hang out while im down south...maybe next time brother!

[DarrenDriven]

Just cause I can't be there doesn't mean that you guys can't hang out!
