My favorite road is definitely U.S. 9 between Cape May, NJ
and Lewes, DE.  The scenery and fresh air is wonderful and
I can make the trip with the car in "park", which gives me
great gas mileage!  

Of course I'm talking about the Cape May -- Lewes Ferry. :-)

Seriously though, I enjoy the northern section of the NJ Turnpike
because it is so industrial.  I am always in awe when I pass by
all those huge and complex structures.  How can anyone keep track
of all those pipes and machines?  Only in America.

Another road I enjoy is the Pulaski Skyway near Newark at about
mid-afternoon when there is little traffic.  The view is 
pleasant and the ride is smooth.  If the Skyway had to be built
today, I bet the DOT could not justify the cost.

The road I have come to be disappointed with is the Garden State
Parkway.  Since Atlantic City gambling started, the GSP has simply
become a conduit for smoke-emitting casino busses and speeding
limousines.  No matter which lane I'm in, there is always
someone who wants to cut me off or flash their lights so I'll
speed up faster than I'm going.  Everyone's got to get to
that slot machine in a hurry.  Some make it, and some
take an unwanted side trip to the hospital.
