    What is your favorite highway in Texas? My favorite highway so far was probably State Highway 45 Toll in Austin because it has great sceneric. I know its toll highway but its an empty highway and a lot of beautiful grass. It's a quiet toll. What about you guys?

    Hwy 149 between Montgomery and Anderson. Beautiful drive through the national forest on a fun road to drive briskly. Just watch out for bikers (motor and people driven).

    Three sisters is a friggin' blast. Those motorcycles that shoot by like an F-16 can literally scare the **** out of you.

    I live near 360 and 2222 so every time I drive anywhere I have to take one of those roads. Sometimes I have to remind myself how pretty the drive is in this part of town. I still love driving over the lake on the 360 bridge unless it's in traffic. That sucks.

    I don't normally go on the high way. I use Richmond all the way from UH to my apt.
