1) Where I can test out my car: Parts of Rt 1 (believe it or not) and 287

2) Scenic: Any of those inter-county roads that wind and twist through Hunterdon, Warren and Sussex Counties, such as 517, 519 and 521 I think. Although I do like 537 too past Great Adventure heading toward Mt. Holly, some interesting things there. Get the book "Backroads, New Jersey" by Mark DiIonno, pretty kewl stuff in there. And parts of 130 and 206 that have a bit of that "Old New Jersey" flavor still alive and well along them, although 130 is starting to get built out now, but it is there in spots.

3) Least Traffic: 295

road through colts neck that i take between middletown and freehold, i think it might be 537. i like it because it goes through farms and nice big open properties that i think look purty.
Yes, it's 537. And there are horsies! Lots of horsies.
