Mountain/Scenic Driving

Do you know in those movies and commercials.. they show cars driving through mountains and places like that? Where can I go to do that? In Ontario? In some other place?

Boring? Well.. I kinda wanted to do it so I can boot it around a bit and see how it's like.

Alright. Later this week.. I'm going to journey down to these places that you guys recommend.

This week is spring break for me!

On Wednesday afternoon.. I'm slapping the summer tires on and on Thursday... I'm going to visit all these places that I get a list of.

Why waste my spring break!?

No Splurgy, I can see your sedan weaving around the roads and in between the peaks of Markham, Ontario. Maybe you are familiar with the place...

At York University there's some road that makes a circle around the campus and at the west end of it (behind Calumet... there are no buildings around the part I'm talking about) I've been told that they've used this twisty portion for numerous commercials. The prof who told me didn't know what manufacturers did it though. Hmmm, this road is neither scenic nor mountainous though... it's just twisty. And it lasts for about 1km... but there are always people crossing at crosswalks... scratch this idea, it sucks! lol

One of my favorite late nite cruses
Roads are bad, you just have to go slow.

I don't get it...

I rarely go to Markham.. I only go there because a friend of mine lives there. But I've only gone to his place like twice.. therefore.. I've gone to Markham like twice... So what do you mean you "can see" my car weaving around there?

Kent,

Markham = flat terrain and straight roads

My post = irony (the expression of meaning using language that normally expresses the opposite)

My = joke

Clear?

Just a little brevity on this soggy weekend, albeit at your expense. Keep smiling
