Same. I drove Tioga to ski Mammoth all the time this winter and I'm living in Carmel Valley this summer while I work in Monterey/Carmel. My drive down to Big Sur inspired this thread.

Here's another great one; the tunnel view in Yosemite.

i don't know the name of the road, but along the Almafi Coast in Italy. I have family there and I've been on the road once. its pretty scary because of how narrow, but very nice views.

In Majorca, especially fun when there is a tour bus coming your way, scariest moments of my life were on this road.
