Let's see some in-car footage of you driving on said challenging roads at the super maximum velocity of Canadian back roads.

Please, I want to see the master driver's prowess demonstrating all his glorious "experience."

BTW, have you ever fallen off the mountain roads? If not, then you were probably going too slow. Weak.

Obviously this kid started this thread to get everyone upset.

I would like to see some footage of him driving "just as challenging" of roads while going to "buy a gallon of milk".
If there were roads that provided just as challenging of drives, over just as long a distance, at just as high of a rate of speed; wouldn't the BMW (not to mention Porsche, Nissan, Audi, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc) engineers be heading to western Canada for their testing. Probably stopping by the Blob's house to toss him the keys, since that kind of drive is oh so ho-hum to him.

You play too many video games.

Note: Statement is based on the fact that in every other thread I've seen you post you seem to reference some sort of racing game. You, just like most other people, ARE NOT AS GOOD OF A DRIVER AS YOU THINK YOU ARE! Hopefully you figure that out before you kill yourself trying to prove me wrong.

If someone gave me a car to drive on the Nurburgring, I wouldn't mind trying it. But I wouldn't never do it with my own car. haha.

The OP is the type of guy that will total his car in the local canyons because he doesn't respect the car or the road.

This is a JOKE!!!

Obviously this guy knows nothing about racing in a race track. I have quite a few years of racing experience, i use to test drive for FORMULA 3000 to test out new equipment and new technology they wanted to bring into the sport.

I raced about 5 times in nurburgring and i can tell you that, it is almost impossible for a "regular driver" to do a 10 min lap. Take for example Jeremy Clarkson on TOP GEAR, he didn't even do a 10 min lap in a jaguar, and he drives OKAY, he has full control of the car and he has some experience in "racing" in a road track.

SO please dont come and BS here on the forums that you are an almighty driver and that the first time you in the track you do a lap less then 10 mins.
