Today me and a few friends decided to have a roadster's day out. We had my 97, a Honda S2k and a Nissan 350Z. We found an amazing road between Upson and Pike county called Day Rd. Look it up, it was fun going up the hill then very scary coming back down. It doesn't look like much on the map but I was very impressed to have switchback's here in Mid GA.

If anyone wants to drive some of these roads (sorry, we didn't get many shots of the actual curves) let me know. I'd be more than happy to ride down there again.

Special thanks to my little brother for being willing to hang out the sides and damn near climb on the trunks of our moving cars to get some of these shots.

Enjoy! :D

My 97' in the parking lot this morning. She looks hungry ;)

not a big fan of the 350z's in general but i do love that color blue that they come in.

Yeah, the weight difference really became apparant on the twisties with the 350. Of course when things straightened out he was right back on us.

Looks like a good fun run - Day Rd. is about 20 miles NW from where I work. Never been in that part of the state, though.

It's really weird out there, everything is really flat then, out of nowhere, mountains. If you check it out on google maps in terrain view you can see what I mean. I bet there's plenty of other good roads I've just got to find them.

Interesting paint on the Miata. By any chance, did you buy that from the Mullaneys in Kennesaw?

The 350z looks nice too.

I don't remember the guys name but it was in Kennesaw. I remember he had a very young kid. That's about all though.
