Just got back from traveling over Hwy 88 in northern Cal. What an awesome drive in my 2001 Max Se. Hwy 88 is a windy , most of the time 2 lanes, and summits at over 8000 ft. No problem negotiating the windy road and unbelievable passing abilities. I was totally stoked!! Makes driving over the Sierras a blast. >

 

I went on a nice trip through the mountains in my Max recently and had a blast, although it was only in smaller mountain twisties of PA. It's a lot of fun to come over the crest of a hill not knowing what is on the other side and see the road unfold in front of you. The Max has plenty of power and handles well. Just like a good roller coaster. Have to watch out for deer in these parts of PA.

 

Man, I love driving my max in the mountains of North Carolina, and northern Georgia. The car has great midrange punch for accelerating up the curves and straights.

 

You guys are lucky. The closest thing to that in south Florida is a freeway onramp. Everything else is flat and straight. I guess that is the price to pay for warm weather year round. ;(
