https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather...orm-rcna145800 Part of the southbound lane collapsed a few days ago. They are only allowing residents of Big Sur past the washout, escorting one lane convoys through in the northbound lane. Just like it usually happens, some Big Sur residents who moved there BECAUSE it was remote are enjoying the peace and quiet without tourists, while others who have opened tourist related businesses are feeling the hit. This back and forth has likely been going on since the "new" road was built in the 1930's ..read more

I have a work trip in a week, looking to maybe trip a Miata and take a canyon run. Any recommendations for a couple hour window for a nice engaging drive, nothing too technical given unfamiliarity with the socal roads ..read more

Anyone ever take Amtrak’s Auto Train with their Miata between Lorton, Va., and Sanford, Fla.? If so, would like to hear the pros and cons. Thanks ..read more

With still an amount of winter left in Ontario, a southern roadtrip for some nice weather and driving is feeling appropriate for a week long road trip. To make the roadtrip within a week, Im thinking somewhere on the east coast and head down to South Carolina/ Northern Florida. Preferably I would stay in one spot for the week and day trip it. What area would make for the best drives and towns to spend time in ..read more

We're going on a great first Europe trip this spring. Part of it is renting a 2.0L BMW Z4 from Berlin to Hanover, stopping in Stolberg (Sudharz) in the middle. Would like to get a decent bit of unrestricted Autobahn time in, along with some good twisty roads. Route suggestions appreciated if anyone (...Werner?) is terribly familiar with Germany at large. Also side question: this rental starts on May 1st (apparently Workers Day holiday). Will this car probably be on all-seasons or summer tires by then? I don't know much about German low-elevation winters, but I am hoping this thing does NOT c ..read more

I’m up here for another week and the snow has abated somewhat. Where do you suggest I drive my Miata to get some cheap thrills and chills? Good routes over Overlook Mountain, etc.? Thanks ..read more

Don't know if someone has brought this up, but somebody showed me this awesome website that makes it easier to find fun roads: https://roadcurvature.com/map/#map=9...81.6035/36.125 It's not perfect, but a pretty good tool if you're looking for a fun Sunday drive ..read more

This June I'm planning on taking a 10,000+ mile trip in Siobhan, my 2015 NC Club. Similar to the road trip I took ten years ago to Laguna Seca for the ND unveiling (I led the pace lap around MRLS and the Oddfellows group who attended), I'm gonna minimize my time on the Interstates and stick to US highways and routes I've gleaned from miata.net, greatmotorcycleroads.com and various magazines, as well as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, probably the book that solidified my love for road trips with the wind in (what's left of) my hair. A map of the route is shown below, and I'm also bu ..read more

One of my favorite roads which has been closed since November 2021. Opening day Dec. 18th between Matajilla Rd. and Lockwood Valley. :thumbs: But - with several traffic controlled one-way sections. I might try the sections closer to Ojai before December is out, but wait till after the current rainy season for the rest. I have a suspicion that there will be more road closures after the predicted El Nino rains this season. :mad ..read more
