Kohones Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Wanted to share, I'm a member with local corvette club. Last Sunday we drove (4 vettes) south to Marietta. Oh. We looked at covered bridges (that weren't washed out) by last mo's floods, ate, & drove FAST on rt 26 / a windy, hilly, no police piece of road. I had a blast all day running thru 25 mph turns at 55 mph, just dropping to third, givin her fuel & ridin thru the turn. Saw flock of a doz wild turkeys & some deer. Just a great day enjoyin the car! I'd recommend this to everyone - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I used to live out there. Thats a few nice road. I ran it from Marietta to Woodsfield a few times a week for a couple of months. That is also the area my 4x4 club goes riding in. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken_Wankel Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Route 26, I do believe that is one of Car and Drivers best roads to drive on in Ohio. Sucks ass it's so far South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tony_K Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I just drove Rte. 26 a few weeks ago. Best workout the 944 ever had. And covered bridges/scenery make it fun for girlfriend, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love the 2+ hour drive with the $2.30 gallon gas prices going down to the best roads in the country. In fact, the best part about driving on these roads is the 2+ hour drive to get there in the first place, especially with my broken cd player so I have to listen to crappy over played music. The 2+ hour drive, yeah, definitely THE best part. Lets not forget the 2+ hour drive back, hellzyeah. Realistically, I don't mind the trip and I would definitely go down there, but the drive still sucks ass, so stop being a little bitch.

If gas prices bother you, buy a TDI Jetta. If you enjoy driving, quit bitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not complaining about the distance between Marietta and I think route 800 where it ends. I just brought up the gas issue to prove a point that the drive to the start of the road sucks ass. Alot of people don't have that kind of time on their hands. Besides, why the hell would I buy Jetta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, there's dozens of other roads down there that are even more fun to drive on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 You know if you really hate the drive you could change to route to get there. You know make the trip down there take longer, but you get to drive fast and scenic all the way. I'd start by taking I-70 to SR 13 (You could cut all highway driving by using US 40(National Scenic Route) to SR 13.) drive on it for a long ass ways until you get to SR 37 and drive on it until you hit Malta at SR 60. Take SR 60 to SR 676 into Marietta. Then take SR 7 to SR 26. Have fun. 13 and 37 are rolling hills, corn fields, and turns along with great scenery of some reclaimed mine lands, and some covered bridges and farm houses. SR 60 is pretty straight forward, but 676 is awesome. Very hard turns with 5 to 10 deg banks in the bigger ones. 676 and 26 are roads where my GPS is my best friend. If your looking for more trouble in a crappier car with AWD or something you could run SR 555 from I-70 to the Ohio River. It takes over 3 hours driving very hard. Lots of severe jumps and turns along with gravel in some of the turns. Want any more info or GPS tracks let me know. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken_Wankel Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well, it's not so much that I don't like to drive, 'cuse I do (like to drive that is). It's just that it would be a long boring drive, and my cd player with all my kickass music is FUBAR. But, the alternative route you gave sounds pretty badass. As for the 50 mpg Jetta, yeah that's nice and all, but I prefer my loud as hell, true duel exhaust, 6-speed v-8. Pissing off liberal tree huggers is better than 50 mpg any day. Besides, I get just under 30 mpg highway, as long as I don't get on it. But, sometimes that's a little hard to do. Hopefully I'll have some extra time before it starts to snow to go down there, check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuruma Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 When I get my 86 fixed up enough for a long drive, I wanna take it there too. It may be a slow car, but that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
