    Keep in mind that profiling is allowed in Italy.

    They're trying to come up with a plan to commandeer the car so they can race against their Sant'Agata colleagues and their Lambo.

    I've had a few run-ins with the police and carabinieri in Italy. They are generally easy-going and not "by-the-book." Don't get me wrong, they're no joke, they're just more likely to give people a warning and are usually courteous. In general, I find them to be more pleasant than U.S. police officers.

    This list sucks. Hawaii is international? I thought it was a state? What are you guys at Jalopnik "Birthers" now?

    Where is Germany? Where is the Italian Riviera? Where is the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa?

    Montreal? Greatest drives, seriously? Just because you have fond memories of underage drinking in Quebec, doesn't make it so.

    I have never driven any of these roads. I would like to. Anybody got some cash?

    When I started reading this I fully expected a German or Swiss autobahn. There is some amazing scenery on these roads, and some areas are speed zoneless. However, they get really congested really fast.

    Hmm, never done much international. But: The drive around Superior is beautiful, but after the fifteenth hour of endless pines and firs black moose silhouettes on orange diamond backgrounds, you're ready for something else.

    Drive a couple hours, seeing only trees.

    Approach a lone building, whose sign reads: "Town and Country Inn." Well, they got the country part. Where's the town?

    Drive another couple of hours. There's the town.

    NOTE: Do not EVER take Buckley's cough syrup while driving. You WILL have an accident.

    Open up Google Earth if you have it. Go to these coordinates and I will assure you driving heaven that can be found in Europe.

    1.) 43°58'38.20" N 7°23'30.58" E
    2.) 46°48'31.83" N 9°32'26.70" E
    3.) 46°46'22.02" N 9°48'03.38" E
    4.) 46°40'06.25" N 9°41'72.53" E

    You're welcome.

    EDIT: I took out the "by" between the coordinates, all you have to do is ctrl c, ctrl v now :)

    @UglyDuckCar: Col de Turini is an obvious one for anyone who's seen footage of the Monte Carlo rally. The Swiss ones I'll have to check out next time I head over there to visit my bro.

    4th one didn't work for me (in Google Maps, didn't feel like firing up Earth)

    @P.Ξ.L.M. wants a Ford RAPTOR !: Pricey laugh. I'm sure the screen is fine, but that was 50c worth of red bull.

    The only higher price per laugh is a Carlos Mencia show.

    @mr_dude: I have no idea who this guy is so did a search on him.

    From what I've seen, yup, sounds like expensive laughs for a Mencia's show.

    @P.Ξ.L.M. wants a Ford RAPTOR !: Well, basically he's not funny (and generally panned for stealing jokes and making them ethnic) so the "laugh" part of the "price per laugh" ratio goes way down.

    This list could be endless and is open to much debate/mindless bitching. However, rather than waste your time in Holland looking at flowers on flat roads, go east of Salem in Oregon. You'll get all the flowers of Holland plus sensational views of the Cascades and decent Mexican food.
