Same with me. I used to carry a barf bag around as a kid and would get sick on anything that moves...planes, trains and automobiles... I'm okay when I drive though. The only time I felt sick while driving was taking the Road to Hana in Maui. Now that's a crazy road....

617 curves and turns! This is mostly all on a one lane road shared by cars coming from both directions with every turn being a blind corner.

Sigh..... I guess The Ultimate Driving Machine isn't made for everyone..... 
Joe - If you dare to get anything on me or my car I'll make sure that you clean it all off, with your tongue.
Tony/Joe - I need the address and time for Wednesday, so I'm taking a whole day off just to have lunch with you guys? And then you're all gonna head back to work? I have to drive 250 miles just to have lunch? None of you guys can stay and hang out with poor ole lonely me?

When I went in 2003, I remembered it was paved, or most of it anyway. For those of you who don't know what this road is, look at this link:
