Yeah, stay off the highways as they will be congested. Stick to backroad twisties and you'll have a blast.

Here's the game plan: defense in traffic, offense on the backroads.

Cool, just checking. I did 500 miles over the weekend looking for new twisties in the Catskills, mostly off the highway.

Many times for people down south they must hit the highways to hit the twisties. I'm gonna start a trucking service to shuttle the knee draggers to prior plotted oh so twisty roads..
