Every time I think about going on Skyline Drive I always change my
mind.  Recently I saw an episode of Top Gear where they thought it would
be a good idea to drive it with some suped up sports cars.  Epic fail!
Not only is it super curvy (sounds awesome in a sports car) it has a
super low speed limit and tons of traffic.  I always stick to either 95
or 81 when heading south.  I would say it is all about the scenery but
when you are the driver you can't take your attention off of the driving
for even a few seconds on that road without risking an accident.

Glad you made it through OK.
