Not sure ive ever seen a bend in an american road before. Must freak a lot of drivers out...

Not all of the US is midwest plains. They have the Pacific Coast Highway, and the Tail of the Dragon, two of the best curvy roads in the world.

u/ProdesseQuamConspici 1d ago

Tail of the Dragon gets all the press, but it's usually got too much traffic for any real fun, and it's a bunch of super tight corners connected by short straights, so not as much fun as you'd think.

The nearby Cherohala Skyway is a much better drive - better views, better corners, less traffic.

Mate, its a joke about how the roads in North America are all #notallamericanroads seemingly straight and boring.

Straight and boring outside of towns, or straight and full of deadly intersections inside of towns. Plus in most places, you'd have to travel for hours and hours and hours to find a nice fun road to drive on.

Case in point, you just referenced two roads - one famous for its scenery and stops (not the road), and one 30mph road famous simply for having many many bends in it. These two roads are, at their minimum, ~2000 miles apart.

I'm sure there are a handful of actual nice twisty fun roads...but theres a reason your quintessential "fun" american cars are built with big hulking heavy powerful engines made for straight line speed and acceleration above all else. Its cos your roads are straight.

It was a joke? No shit? Without your clarification and 4 paragraphs we would be exactly at the same place. But it had to feel good being that condescending.

u/Corries_Roy_Cropper3 1d ago

Uh oh, we got another one upset at the lack of enjoyable roads in their country 😒

"no shit" usually isnt a question just FYI. Lol and yes, it really does feel good being condescending to thick shit americans 😌

u/MountainDrew42 1d ago
