I won't get it done this year (again), but one of my "bucket list" items is

I'd love to go drive the Tail of the Dragon and the Blue Ridge Parkway some
day, but that will probably never happen. Just too dang far from here.
Maybe if I get Dad's TR3A running (which is in Missouri so not quite so far
away from those roads).
