    Great video, just a note that the "go-kart" car is actually street legal and is called an Ariel Atom.

    I'm not gonna lie, this might be the slowest pass through on this road I've come across, but y'all's commentary made it a really fun video! Glad you enjoyed the road!
    I will say, most people way overthink the road. It's really just a road. Yeah, it has a lot of turns, but there is no reason to cut into the yellow or into the opposing lane. Keep it between the mustard and mayo and you'll be just fine.

      Thanks. Yeah, the Z24 was built for roads like this. Still nothing like actual sports cars though. But way better than a cheap/regular Cavalier. Handled wonderfully. And yes, I LOVE Route 30 on both sides of Breezewood. Very scenic and a workout for the car.

    I think out of all the videos I’ve watched I love this one the most I didn’t even know what Tail of the Dragon 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 was until I watch this but you were absolutely fantastic and it looked like you picked the side where you were heading mostly uphill I wonder if it would be different if you did the other side where it was downhill and I also noticed the trees were not covered with leaves yet and I wonder if that would make it feel more closed in when they were & make the streets darker and I can’t even imagine what it would be like to drive that at night wow wow wow and I love driving a stick shift I used to have a 1976 Datsun B2 10 five speed and I took it all over Washington and Oregon and IdahoAnd Utah and it was great that was my favorite car but anyway like you said can you imagine a motorhome driving down that or a bus or anything big like that and that was so fun to come along with you guys thanks so much you guys make the cutest couple love to you both from here in Orem Utah 💛🌈💛🌈💛🌈💛The pictures at the end were fantastic how exciting that was so cool to see💚🐉💚🐉💚🐉💚🐉

    • @WallieB26
      @WallieB26  3 роки тому +1

      If you're not paying attention on this road, it wouldn't take much to go off road, down a ditch, or off the mountains. It definitely did get a good work out! I had to replace my swar bar end links as a result. The one snapped so I just replaced both. Very cheap and very easy part to replace for better handling.

    Great Video. I live in northeast Tennessee. This looks like a typical ride in the mountains for me and my wife. Try driving “The back of the dragon” from Marion near I-81 to Tazewell in southwest Virginia. After you complete the ride, follow Highway 421 to Harlan, KY for the closest Rax location. I expect you stopped at a few Bojangles along the way. 😂

      Fair enough. It's definitely a work out especially for people like me who drive a manual car. As a passenger, though, you really get to enjoy the scenery! I could only a little bit since I had to focus on the road.

    • @WallieB26
      @WallieB26  3 роки тому

      It would be easier in an automatic but you'll eat your brakes up. A manual helps a ton in saving brakes by dropping a gear and using the engine and transmission instead to slow it down. Still have to brake but not as much and definitely not as hard.
