I'd be down for that... Any STL Guys wanna crash a party? Bonnie sure wants to... Of course, 318 consecutive curves in 11 miles would be a workout for her...

Nice Thought
Wouldn't that picture with all the Mini's look better if they were all HHR's.

Yes it would, but they are built in Mexico.
How would one get them all there?

I-24 heading south into Chattanooga is scary enough for me especially when sharing the road with truckers and elderly drivers in very large motorhomes. No way I would drive The Dragon.

The "dragon" is actually Deal's Gap, and it is 311 turns in 11 miles. In the old days, we rode it without traffic, but today, the thing is full of bikers, hot rods, cars, whatever. There doesn't seem to be a slow traffic day there anymore.
The store at the bottom sells car sick bags and tourist stuff...and you will get sick , or at least be quesy when it's over. If you're really in a mood, you'll turn around and do it all over again.
I have driven it many times since 1978 and it's always fun, unless you get stuck behind a camper.
I have a video of the entire 11 miles, from bottom to top and every now and then, I watch it.
Beautiful countryside.
Now if you're REALLY the daredevil, you'll drive it at night, in bad weather.
