Twisty little back-road right down the street from me doesn’t get much traffic on Sunday afternoons. Only takes two minutes or so to go from end to end, but it sure is fun. Some days I’ll drive over to it, go back and forth 3 or 4 times then just go home. I don’t go above the speed limit, but it feels fast enough with the Forester’s body roll. Also just feels good to bang out shifts one after the other. I took a salesman down it once on a test drive of a VW CC 2.0T Sport with the 6-speed manual. He squirmed a little, but had a laugh when I didn’t wreck the car. That was fun.

Yeah. Antonio Drive. Starts behind El Chaparral on Bandera Road and runs out to FM1560 right by the Mormon church. I once got a very stern look from a guy on a riding mower. Didn’t hang around after that. Surprisingly enough I haven’t really seen anything too interesting in any driveways there. Helotes Hills off of Circle A has some cool stuff old and new. Old trucks, some guy appears to be building a Camaro farm and there is a guy with two C7 Corvettes - one Stingray and one Z06.

My other favorite drive is Cielo Vista that starts on Babcock up by Scenic Loop and runs down into the IH10 Frontage just past the Dominion. But that is too popular with cyclists to door anything too crazy. I see a lot of Porsches out that way.

yeah, thats why it looks familiar....... i almost NEVER head through the old downtown part of town, but i go on the outer edges...... hadnt cruised THAT road. know the inlet, and outlet...... i get lots of MEAN looks just about everywhere i putter around, just driving nice and slow........its fun to check out the junk in new places......

as far as winding little meandering roads go, i like bumpgate road, and also timbercreek to prkrd 37 cutthrough.......at night, when there is NO ONE around the blind corners.......

I know that cut through! I live by the quarry on 16, so it’s past my place and I don’t head out there too much.

its a fun road to play on, but the through traffic, of everyone commuting is something else(early morning & 5ishpm)....... those folks are moving ON. its a lot like a game of outrun, to see if you can find anyone ahead of you on the road... or make the guy behind you disappear.....

...its fun to mess with the squids on bikes through there. my truck doesnt corner too great, but i can make it tough for them to get around, on anything BUT a real good corner...... good fun if not taken too far.....

every once in a while i see medina county sherrifs out there..........or a trooper......
