Maybe take some pics, maybe not.

Back now, 40 miles in 40 minutes. These corners were especially  good. That’s 6 90 degree corners in a few miles. All labeled 15 mph, ha ha ha..... easily taken at 40.

This is me being edgy.

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 08/30/2020 at 12:59

Nissan should re-rebrand themselves as Datsun and start making cool shit again.

They had an IDX or something called like that a few years ago that was a tribute to the 510. The most interesting car from Nissan is the Juke, how hard would an SER Sentra be or a rogue with a 250 HP 4 banger. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever 08/30/2020 at 13:53

I see you also live in fame country. Just mainly straight road that zig zag between 200 year old  property lines.

Yes. Starting with the IDX.

Maybe they could get in on the Toyobaru deal and make a 2.0l turbo  straight 6 Version lol

These are quarter sections IIRC. Our own version of grid roads.

Most roads in my area are grid-type, but there’s a few choice corners that are so tight that you can divebomb them without breaking the main speed limit. I’ve come up with a ~15min loop that takes me through them, plus you get a couple of  extra fun corners to sweep through if you take the loop counter-clockwise (3 stop signs) instead of clockwise (5 stop signs).

Did someone say grid road?

I like these hard 90’s. You can’t go so fast that there are consequences but you can still get full lateral acceleration.

Some intrepid farmer should realize this and build a toll road (call it the Farmburgring).

This section of road is about an hour away on the back roads going towards Austin, the whole section is about 1.5 miles long and quite fun. Most corners  are rated for 25 mph.....
