I love blood, I take my motorcycle up there all the time. I can't stand when people use two lanes going up, the merc still couldn't shake you off though. Id like to take my miata up there but I think it would blow up if beat it up like that she's got some miles on her lol
The miata is just awsome, it can't compete in the staight lines but in the twisty stuff, it's great. Blood certainly is nice but it does get crowded. I try to avoid it unless it's really early and empty. I also like to take my motorcycles up to the mountains but lately I've tried riding in less busy roads as well.
