haha, the central expressway one is fun. Its the S-turn right?

I also like southbound 87 onto southbound 85. I can hit triple digits in this turn on my motorcycle, its fun and stupid

880S/Montegue exit (S turns)...
880N/280N interchange (very tight)...
880N/Marina East exit (decreasing radius with short straigt in the middle)...
880N/101N interchange (elevation change, too bad there is a small bump towards the end)...

I am sure there are more...

Favorite Interchange ~ Ah... witty banter with a gorgeous woman you'd like to lie down next to?

Hands down, the I-10 East onto the 405 North @ 4:00AM on a weekend dawn!!! We of course are talking, 'Go To Jail' speeds here...

Those two are definitely on my list, I used to spend too much time in the wee hours of the morning on the San Thomas/Central cloverleaf... The best part to me is San Thomas toward El Camino to Central toward Lafayette (thought Central was N/S so little confused, but the one with the big entrance and then the perfect 180 degree right hander onto Central.

Other favs:

85S to 280S - it's rough, but for some reason one of my favs.

101N to 92W, for some reason this is really fun.

380W to 280N - same as above.

880S to 237W.

Yeah, there's a lot more... Haha.

At T-Hill I agree, 6-9 is awesome but I really love 1 and coming into 2 waaaay too hot. Hate 3 but it's fun to pull it off right. These are best enjoyed with a momentum car for me personally.

Haha, no. I don't as much experience at Sears and after working safety for a while and watching sooo many people eat it there, I show that turn respect.

I really like from 4-6 into the straight though, for some reason that is awesome as well as after 7 thru 10. Did you ever drive it when it was under construction - turn 9 made a hard right straight into turn 2. Was nutty.

Somewhere I have a pretty good hi-res vid of my old GT-4 running it in the rain. That was so damn fun till the motor blew. Should see if I can host it somewhere.
