Good roads in Minnesota?

Hello! Do any opponauts know of some fun roads in Minnesota near the metro area? I had a single fun corner I enjoyed taking, but it's grown old, and I can't find anything but straight roads or slight curves. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, and have a Miata out of its element for your troubles.

Bush Lake road where I live in Bloomington. If you wanna come over sometime I could show you the lap. Other than that, the roads around lake Minnetonka are pretty great too. Although in this weather, the tires are going to be pretty damn cold.

Not much on there for Twin Cities area. :\ Luckily (for me) I can concur that CR-15 is a nice, scenic drive. Not an enthusiastic drive, tho.

What area around Minneapolis? North, east, south, west? If you go far enough east, there's usually going to be something good by the river.

Is the Miata in the snow representative of yourself...? If so, there's an event I'm going to in a couple weeks that I believe would be worth your trouble.

Just about any area within a reasonable distance from west St. Paul. That Miata isn't mine, but if I had one I'd be hooning in the snow in a heartbeat. I window shop Miatas all the time. They just aren't what I primarily need in my car, thus my current, first, and only car (which is 100% mine, paid and worked for myself) will stay.

Regardless, what is this event? I may be interested...

I love hooning in the snow... it's probably really the only time that I get my car sideways. Window shopping today lead me to a used RS 4. I think I want it but will end up keeping my (also 100% mine, paid and worked for myself) current car.

The event is in southwest MN, and it's a TSD rally. Not hooning, per se, but a lot more fun than the youtube instructional video I found would have you believe. You'd need a navigator, and it's not free, but it's fun. ;) Is there any way to PM on here? I'm fairly new to oppo...

That could be fun! A supermini meet might be fun.

I've actually seen a bit about that. It looks interesting, but I've never done anything like it.

*SouthEAST Minnesota. My proofreading was off last night.
I've only been to one of these rallies before, back in April. It was in WI, so I ended up doing 1000mi in one weekend, and it was totally worth it.
