Your ignorance of the US is interesting. I grew up in an area where 
straight roads were an exception and many of them were dirt. I developed a 
driving style that is frowned on by the new 'stability control' systems. 
There is nothing wrong with getting a little sideways. Where I live now is 
similar once you get out of the valleys.

Shelby did get around though. He drove Aston-Martins, Ferraris, and 
Maseratis in a number of venues including LeMans, Sebring, and even the 
New Zealand Grand Prix. 

I'll admit most of Texas doesn't do much for me. It does get better out in 
the Guadalupes.
