Best road in Orange County/L.A. Its in whittier and the streets called Hacienda Heights. You have to be an experienced driver to come here, but its hella fun. I actually bought this car because of this road. I wanted a cheap fun car to take down this road every weekend. Its more fun and has way more turns that google maps shows us.

Ya I have been to muholland twice but go to the road i have posted above, muholland is fun as hell, but this mountain road is twice as fun. More extreme turns but then again, you have to be a good driver.

US 21, north of Elkin, NC as it climbs up to the Eastern Continental Divide: here is an overhead shot: Google Maps. It's not the most twisty of roads, but since I've been riding up that road my whole life, and driving it since I had a license, I know it well. Also, each new car I've had has progressively handled better... so as my driving skills and car abilities have increased, so has the fun and speed at which I can take the climb. I have not yet been able to get down and drive it with my MS3... but I eagerly await the day (I might be headed down that way tomorrow!).
It has a passing zone right at the start of the climb to get around any slow pokes. It has a passing zone middle of the way up right around a sharp turn which is fun to accelerate hard around as you pass, and one last passing zone closer to the top. Speed limit is 55mph (vice something like 35-40 ish) so you may hit some high speeds on the straight aways, but it is not like your risk of speeding tickets is very high.
Of course, if anyone is familiar with that area... you also have the Blue Ridge Parkway which can be a lot of fun. However, with a speed limit of 45mph, slow tourists, wildlife, cyclists, etc -- one must be a bit more careful about the speed at which they drive.

I miss them all. In High School (Thousand Oaks High) We would time ourselves down Decker from Westlake to Malibu each day after school on our way to go surf. No twisties where I'm at now
... just big open road and radar guns ...Everytime I go to Las Vegas I pass this road, it has the coolest ******* name ever. I've never pulled over to drive on it, probably a bad dirty desert road, but It's my favorite named road. Here is the sign pic I took 4 days ago on the way back from Vegas for my wife's birthday:
Ha! that sign brings a grin every time I see it... Ive always said I would take it one day but Im afraid it will drop me in the middle of a bomb range out in the boondocks...
