Penn State Roads

Harrisburg PA. Has anyone ever rode the Oak Grove Road here? GEEZ!

I got off the airplane last week and went to the rental counter. I was
offered one of two cars...a grey one or black one. I chose the black
one. The guy at the counter said "is a sky okay?". Huh? I said "yeah,
it was a bit bumpy but not too bad".

He was talking about a Saturn Sky....TURBO! I went out to get into
this thing and it was like getting into the Batmobile. In stock form,
this thing won't lose traction and won't get slanted. Turn off the TCS
and it turns into a two seater dragster. Both wheels spinning and
rolling smoke out the back end for the length of a street. I jumped on
this road here and found 15mph curves with steep hills included. A
couple switchbacks thrown into the road for an "attention getter". Did
I say 15mph? This car will run those at over 45mph and ain't shit
other than slinging you into the console or the door. Other than a
slight nudge, you really don't move much in this car.

I've been sliding on my Juliets and black shirt to go out and look
like some super-hero.

I'VE GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THESE!!!!

Bill, you better forget about those right-wing nut job Dodges and
check the Saturn Sky....it's certainly not like the Saturn you have!!!

 

Sounds cool. Ever since Saturn (and GMAC) stiffed me a couple years ago
I've sworn never to get another (I've had 3). this might make me change
my mind. Looks like the Challenger is too far away ($$$) so maybe
something a little less... pricey.

There are some nice roads around there. I worked out there for IBM on a
contract with the state a few years ago. I loved driving out through
Amish country. I kept trying to find a place that rented bikes but the
nearest was in the western Philly burbs.
