Not entirely sure the Jetta was ever meant to tackle this road...but it did.

That looks real fun.

I once took this on a trip to Austin, it was totally worth, even after talking myself into a warning after getting pulled over.

In my 325 wagon today. Lots of careful wheel placement choices...

Is that Lime Creek Road or another one around the lake?

It’s pretty tame. Glad to hear it was clear and you can enjoy this nice spring weather!

Lime Creek! I got pulled over by a very nice officer after the last turn who informed me that he was really only there because people were complaining about motorcyclists, and despite me doing at least twice the limit when I passed him (I pulled over the second I saw him, because I know when I’ve done a bad thing), he said it was clear I was out of state and gave me a warning saying “have” to give me a ticket if he saw me again.

City Park Road was also a lot of fun, just for the changes in elevation, but like whatever road Bonnell is on, I was too conscious of the fact that there could actually be bicycles to enjoy it.

The roads you’re not sure your vehicle is supposed to take are so much fun. Nicely done!

Tame, but the only issue was that it was slick with slush and mud in a few places.

Yeah. I like just kind of cruising along those roads. They’re twisty enough to still be fun at the speed limit without getting in trouble . Even Lime Creek has way too many houses on it now to be enjoyable at, ahem, speeds . Too many blind driveways, blind corners, pedestrians, weird traffic situations, blah blah, you know the drill.

My van would have been a riot tearing down that road.
