Yes, but a 2.2 mile track with 11 corners in the California desert doesn't really compare to a 16 mile course with 170 corners that winds through some of the most picturesque scenery you will find on a racing circuit.

Instead of building a replica of something in Germany, why not take that money and build a similarly epic course that is uniquely American? I'm all for paying tribute and I wouldn't be opposed to see some elements of the 'ring in a new track, but I would much rather see something original.

Number 2:

I'll go ahead and throw in two of my favorites.

Agreed. I schedule as many trip up to MIssouri as possible. Mostly to go catch up with old friends, but I get absolutely giddy about driving through Arkansas. I try to find a new path to take every time, but you can't really go wrong. US 71 all the way up the western border, AR 7 through the Ouachita and Ozark

I'm skeptical of elevation changes in Louisiana (I joke because I live there). I'll have to check this one out the next time I'm down towards Natchitoches. Is LA-6 the road that follows the Cane River? If not, that is a pretty nice drive as well.

I knew I recognized the highway number. I went camping up at Haw Creek Falls (just off of 123) last year. 123 is an awesome road and I enjoyed every minute of it. They were in the middle of repaving it when I was up there so there was loose gravel everywhere. Great fun.

For your consideration..

nibbles got the first image... Let's try this one

I would like to nominate the International MXT. This one is all about being the biggest on the block and flexing your muscle for all the world to see. It's big, it's brash, and, when provoked, it is capable of amazing things. The problem is, most of these aren't provoked very often. Much like our nuclear arsenal -

But America isn't entirely American either, now is it?

I give you the Ford GT40. Not only did this car take the best of what the colonies had to offer and combine it with a bit of British swagger (much like our own country), but its reason for existing is quite American as well. The message sent with this car was clear - if you won't join us, we're just gonna kick yer ass.

I get the hate on the turbo four in the Mustang and I think Ford will be shooting themselves in the foot if they try to replace the V8 'Stangs with... well anything. That being said, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing an EcoBoost option in the place of the V6 models. Nobody buys the V6 Mustang for the raw power and

I'm glad they only made two of them. Don't get me wrong, I love the way it looks, but some cars don't need mass production. They lose a bit of their charm when the general public gets a hold of them. Especially some of the members of the general public down here in the south. If one of those ended up here, it would be

There something a little off on the face of that Mazda. I can't tell if it is an angry mustachioed man or an extremely focused man with a grin...

A split second too early on the trigger. My symmetry OCD requires that the exhaust port be lined up directly over the apex.

It works the other way as well... My ex wife drove a '96 Ranger with a 5 speed for awhile and I always enjoyed sitting in the middle right next to her.

Regardless of what is in reality, it is referred to as a 735 in the movie

It should be mentioned that the bench seats in the vintage truck at #7 also add to the charm. Especially with a floor mounted shifter. Nothing like hitting the back roads with your lady snuggled up close as you work the stick between her legs.
