Great Roads

Can anyone suggest great twisted roads that don't have many cars on them to drive our awesome WRXs on?

well you want people to tell you roads that dont have many cars...these roads you must find on your own...if you expose them via interweb then your road will be noticed by authorities...you will get tickets...and our love for driving will soon die due to speed bumps on cool Mtn roads

just my $0.000002

....These can be scary, depending on what time you are at. The best idea is to go with three people and use radios to relay info....
the road headed to Big Basin....the road just off 17 to Santa Cruz heading toward the mystery spot....ohhhh that is such a fun one.

If you want to have some fun on twisty roads in a completely safe environment check out:

There will be a bunch of Scoobys from i-Club taking part and it's a great learning experience.

You're right. I did not even think about it. Anyhow, not all of us will be showing up there at the same time. At least tell us about your experience of a road you liked.

im just a little bitter living in the mtns and seeing stupid 16 year olds come find my road my house is on, drifting around corners, not knowing the road at all, not caring if they hit any pets...or people.

your answer is Google Earth

Let's see...

Get out a map of Northern California, and simply pick a bunch of roads west of Hwy. 101 north of the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're smart enough to pick roads that don't intersect with lots of other roads, then you'll find the good roads to travel.

You could also simply take Fairfax-Bolinas Rd. from Fairfax to Bolinas. That should cure you of your need for twisty roads.
