Ahhhh now i see why you bought a Ferrari. I am itching to pull the trigger on a sports car but the absolute ARROW straight roads and featureless, dull and limp landscape make me pause.

I wouldn't let that hold you back. I lived in Orlando, FL and daily drove both a Miata and an Alfa Spider. You find little sections that are fun and do what you can. Freeway on ramps also become entertaining.

No, see, i don't think you realsie how bad it is.

These are the BEST roads in the Toronto area and some are a solid 90 minutes away. The Forks of the Credit is now covered in speed bumps so that's off the table. SO drive 90 minutes for a 3 to 4 minute drive on a moderately ok stretch of road.

Absolutely dull as dog shit. God i hate this city sometimes, so fucking vanilla.

Looking at a couple of those links - I think it's still worth it. Better than Orlando, ha!

To make you more jealous, however, I've included a couple of map shots of my full commute.

Nearest is well over an hour away and it's Mosport so expensive and easy to bin the thing, like real easy. Then you need the right insurance blah blah blah ... just $$$$$.
