This is my first post, and I just want to commend the administrators and members for making this one of the most impressive auto communities I've come across on the web. Thoughtful, helpful, and posting inspired by enthusiasm for the cars rather than the desire to vent anonymously. Well done.

Anyway, someone posted recently asking about fun roads to drive in Florida and I have a similar question. I live in Chicago, Illinois, which is flat as a board and largely devoid (as far as I can tell) of any roads that curve. I'm curious if there are any Illinois/Midwestern members who have favorite stretches of road in the general Illinois/Wiscy/Michigan area that they love to take their Caymans through. I'm on the fence about buying a Cayman as a weekend toy, (I live in the city and don't actually need a car, my work commute is by foot,) but I don't have a good sense of whether there are any roads around me that would justify buying a Cayman in the first place. (Tracking is not really an option, and buying a Cayman just to rocket on a straight highway to Naperville or Gary Indiana is like buying a thoroughbred racehorse and only letting it walk around in circles in your backyard.)

I realize I could just move to the west coast and my problem would be solved, but if any snow-belt types could lend some encouragement, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
