[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Good comment. However, please change your screen name. I think even the "victims" would agree with me.]

Go from Coastal rainforest with bay so the North Pac. to the Alaska Mnt. range to the rolling tundra near Danali Nat park.
Only down falls Retarded Moose and $5.00+ a gallon gas.

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: See below for A) previous mention of Alaska, B) my POV on use of the word "retarded". In short, it's stupid.]

No. 7 is a shot of the Columbia Gorge, btw, from Crown Point. Just FYI....

Above is an excerpt of my run of the Skyway.

BTW, good job keeping everyone civil today.

Also, I'm not usually a fan of techno either, but it kinda works with Samuel Barber for some reason.

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Thanks for not being entirely douchey in your dismissing of Utah's inclusion/write-up. Hopefully you got over yourself and read the other state's blurbs. Thank you and have a nice day.]

Now if I could only find a low hour Swoop owned by a little old Bith who only used it once a standard time cycle to worship with the B'omarrs, that said, I'd also take a SoroSuub X-34 if anyone has a good line on one, I do miss having a convertible.

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: Congratulations, you are the 1,000,000 person to make this joke in one post. Please read/scan/try to read other comments before commenting? I think this is truly the thing that bothers me most (besides d-baggery), the redundant post.]

Congratulations, you sound like a troll. Apparently being the only other person to have mentioned it makes me the one millionth person. And that person I don't think posted his post before me, so that actually makes me the original one. And it was so briefly mentioned at the very end of the post that a quick scan that I normally do didn't pick up on it. Oh boo. You know stuck up commentators is the thing that bothers me the most.

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: (I can't even dignify your comment by commenting as my actual screen name.) No, you were the 4th person to mention it. THE FOURTH. Use the "See Older Thread" and "See all threads" settings and you'll be able to count 4, including yourself. Sure, I exaggerated for effect. It's called hyperbole.]

I apologize for being a normal human and assuming that "show all threads" actually means, "show ALL threads." So when I saw what I thought was "all threads" and did not see any commentary on it, I thought it would be nice to point out. My honest mistake. But really, you have to give us your approval on what's ok and not ok to comment? Really? No sense of smug superiority detected there or anything. If you weren't on jalopnik and if I was forced to make an assumption, I'd say you were a prius driver.

And as a champion of the Caliber, which I applaud you for, I'm surprised by the condescension toward the Prius and Prius drivers. That little orange pic of his old Caterham Seven should clue you in, too. Every car is sacred, every car is good (bad Monty Python reference.)

@eggwich, galvenized: Also, just in case anyone is interested, I present the AT-ATs of Oakland, said to be George's inspiration by many...

Eh, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the "OMBUDSMAN" tag. Someone care explain this to me? Also the prius driver thing was a reference to our hatred of "smug" prius drivers, not the actual vehicle itself. Not saying all prius drivers are either, but the point was I thought he was being as smug as the ones we generalize.

[OMBUDSMAN'S NOTE: There's a reason you're a star, boss. Well done. Non-stars, this here is an excellent non-one-liner/non epic daily-driver comment. More like this, please.]

If you're going N-S, make sure to drive along the east side of the Continental Divide, and visit the divide, itself, whenever possible.
Cottonwood Canyon road, FTW! Perfectly cambered, dirt on the far side, so no traffic to speak of because it doesn't really go anywhere.

@Al Navarro: It's a nice drive for sure. Lots of twisties, good scenery (mostly pine and aspen forests), and lots of elk and deer around. There are better roads in my opinion, but it's really hard to find a bad mountain road in Colorado.
