I have been searching for another fun car lately, and the sites I am watching always have vids of people driving Deals Gap, or Tail of the dragon, on the NC and Tenn border. Has anyone ever driven the L on this road. It looks fun.
Anyone gone to Tail of the Dragon in their L

I have done this run before. Let me say this. When you get done the ride, and you go to sleep at night. You'll think your still driving. I have done this run about 5 times now. Twice on my bike. Twice in my old 96 thunderbird. Once in my L. Lets just say its a bikers road. I can remember one time were my wife and I were on my 82 Honda 750. I was just cruising. Then I got the idea to lay more into the curves. All I heard from behind me was cursing. :cuss: :fart: She wasn't happy about that. But any way, go do it and if you have any suspension upgrades you'll find out how well they will work. :thumbsup:

Just to add to that. I live about 2 hours from there. My wife and I go to Gatlinburg TN about Once a month. Its a very fun place to visit. They have a bunch of car shows in Gatlinburg and in Pigeon Forge TN. The next car show for me there will be the Fall Grand Run. Aprroximatly about 5-10,000 cars and trucks, motor cycles and who know what you may see there. I usely stay the weekend of the event and look at the cars and trucks. The last show in the spring there. I saw 13-15 L's there. One guy was from michigan. I did see a few from KY, NC.

I sure do. Sept 14-17. There is a show called shades of the past, the weekend before . Sept 7-10. I'll be there for the 14-17 show. Hope you can make it.
I used to live there. Almost died one Sat afternoon running the tail. :bash:
Since then I have taken the lighting once. I was SUPPRISED at how well it handled as well as the cherola (sp?) skyway. (Check out bald river falls while your there)
It's a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L drive as long as it's not too hazy out. In the fall and on a weekday would be best IMO.
Here are some pics from my trip:

Beautiful pics. I am gonna keep it in mind, and when the weather gets cooler, trees start to turn colors, I will try to organize a trip. Maybe do a little rafting too.
