Great road in NorCal

Well, I took my new Argento AT on the road today. Keep in mind I am breaking her in still so nothing over 4k rpm. That being said, we (wife & I) were in Napa, CA for lunch and decided to take the main fwy there (about 25 min), then take the mountain twisty home (about 57 mins. per google). This car is ridiculously fun!! Revs were at or below 4k but OMG she stuck to the road. Had it in full manual shifting alternating both paddles and the shifter. IT IS NOT A MANUAL, but based on the smile on my face . . . who cares. Even my wife had a few nervous giggles on our ride. I'm still getting used to the car so all nannies were on. I hope the "86" phenomenon grows to the level of the MINI followers. Wife even commented on the firm yet smooth ride versus the teeth rattling ride of the MINI. I recommend this route to anybody up this way. It's pretty short, but very fun.
Posting the pic was too large . . . basically Hwy 121 from Napa to I-80 . . . AWESOME :-)

Enjoy
