Today's question seems more related to air travel than to roads.

But, with that said, I was tempted to answer Hub, California. But that seems likely to be a good answer. So instead I'll cite Hub, Austria.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

They have a cool "Fix CA 41 The 2 Lane Death Trap" banner at Hub:

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

As a 2024 Toyota Corolla driver I'd say Chowchilla Mountain Road.

That's a Japanese car, so I'd suggest Hunt Road, a short distance northeast of Twin Falls, Idaho.

Limon is a genuinely horrible answer considering Colorado Springs is 20 miles closer.

I thought KY 199 was obtainable from the photos HB showed.

I would pay to ship to my Corolla to Mackinaw Island just to do this.  That would give me the run, bike and drive cycle.  I guess that would leave only snowmobile left.

Possible in a sedan, yes. A good idea, no.

All the most memorable ideas tend to lurk in that realm of "should I be doing this?"
