Where is your most favorite place you've driven your Corvette?
I actually have three:
Took it to The Corvette Museum. Went on some cruises, and car shows.
Sometimes on a Sunday in the summer, I'll take a ride in Amish country near Lancaster, PA. Cruising the open, winding roads with the top down makes for an enjoyable day out. I love it when the young Amish kids stop working and watch as I drive by. :-)

There are 3 -
First would be attending Bloomington Gold in Indianapolis and being able to run two laps on the Indy 500 track;
Second - being awarded Celebrity Choice Award by Tom Hill in my 2014 Stingray at Fun Fest in Effingham, IL and,
Third - attending Corvette Black Hills Classic and all the venues at that event.
SOOO many fabulous treks were made in "The Beast". It was THE most capable road trippin' car I have had the pleasure to own. Probably the most fun trek was to the 2012 C3VR Member's Gathering held in Charleston, SC. Good friend Wally and I drove our C4s from Minnesota and had a blast. The highlight of our 2nd day on the road was a stop was at "The Brickyard" for a tour of the museum.
The third day on the road was probably the most fun I've had while on public roads. If you have not experienced "The Tail of the Dragon" (US 129) as mentioned above all I can say is - DO IT...!!! It was my 2nd run on it (1st time was in "The Toy") and the handling and power of the ZR-1 made the drive a BLAST...!!! That was in the morning. The afternoon was spent snaking through the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. NC 281 between Tuckasgee and Lake Toxaway was even more fun than the "Tail" if you can believe that...!!! What a day...!!!
After the Gathering was over Wally headed back to Minnesota and my wife flew into Charleston. From there we went up the eastern seaboard to Boston to attend our son-in-law's graduation from graduate school. We stuck as close to the coast as we could taking multiple ferry boats and staying overnight on the Outer Banks one night.
From Boston we rocketed back home to Minnesota.

I live on a peninsula. The other (land) side of the bay is twisty. Depending on the traffic levels, it can get interesting over there. It's just a 40 minute drive away.
