Cool, I thought about the episode where they were doing 200mph through the Eisenhower Tunnel in super cars when I was driving through it last May, nuts. I drove my WRX to the summit of Washington, did the posted 20mph speed limit, and the road wasn't closed. I liked the CD they give you when you pay, it's synced to where you are on the road if you pop it in at the beginning.

The most fun I've ever had in a car was going up the auto road in a piss poor rain day. Guy at the shack at the base told me it wasnt worth it. Paid my fare and gave her a bootfull.

Didn't see a single other car (thanks guy in shack) and was able to make it up and back (Volvo V70R) in about 23 minutes. Fun, but don't try it at home.
