OK just wanted to pass this on while I remember.
My new favourite road is HWY 118 from the Muskoka region to the Bancroft region.
Google mapped it
It's not THE most chalenging northern road I've found, but it's still great.
Amazing scenery, tonnes of curves and elevation changes, 80 km/h limit, with tonnes of sharp bend, and curve warning signs advising you to take it down to 50 km/h. Regions where the road hugs the shores of lakes, then back up into the forrest, and through the rock of the canadian shield.
At one point I was like "man I gotta ****" so I decided to pull over and run into the woods to go. HUGE MISTAKE! I was driven back into my car within seconds of stepping out by swarming bting insects.
I think that if you don't drive this road there is something wrong with you.

I got owned today, was gonna get the gaskets around my test-pipes replaced with OEM metal gaskets, but my buddy got bitched out by the service manager today about working on non-customer cars, so I can't bring it in today.

Man, speaking of people with friend's at Nissan, do you guys remember that black G that showed up to the VM meet? He was the only other G there. His uncle or something is pretty high up in Nissan HQ, so he managed to get himself on the list, he's getting a GTR this December.
