Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive road trip

You don't need to be driving pedal to the metal to enjoy the great scenery these roads have to offer. I wonder how many "so called" high performance drivers have lost control on these roads thinking they're Mario Andretti.
It still would be a pleasure driving there with a cool sportscar.
Thanks for sharing your experiences, Ed.

Agreed. I had zero intentions of being 'that guy' & possibly ruining another persons day (as well as mine).

I think a lot of the deaths/wrecks on the dragon are from drivers looking around at the scenery and steep drop offs rather than at the road.

I could almost understand being distracted while enjoying the scenery. However, you've got to be attentive while navigating the twists and turns. That's where driving a high performance vehicle can get you into trouble in a hurry.

Ed,
I finally got to watch your video. It was very well done and well narrated, as usual....even having peaceful music playing in the background to create the mood. It was most enjoyable. It shows me how much we need to see in our lifetime before we're no longer able to.
Thanks again for sharing that with us. 👍😎
