Apparently they are doing another exotic trio roadtrip looking for good driving roads.  Only this time instead of romania, they were spotted filming along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  If I had to guess, they are probably going to hit up Tail of the Dragon.  But yeah, this time they've got a Mercedes SLS AMG, Ferrari 458 italia that will probably light on fire, a Porsche 911 GT3.

JD, take a CRX up there and walk it out on one of their cars during filming or something.

You'll not see jack or shit on the Dragon.  It's either bumper to bumper cars with 90,000 cops or very few cars with 90,000 cops.  Not worth going to anymore unless you're into meeting guys in parkinglots who get really excited when you pop your hood.

Yeah, and there are better/faster roads to drive without the fear of losing your license. 151, 74, #9, Paint fork, 276 north, 276 south, 215, Dogett, etc.
