Road trip tips

[JHahn22@xxxxxxx]

Hello Alfa and Bimmer nuts,
I'm going to be making a road trip over spring break, heading west from 
College Station Texas (between Austin and Houston).  Depending on when me and 
my girlfriend get out of here, we're aiming for the grand canyon and possibly 
all the way to the left coast.  We are just going to throw a tent and some 
sleeping bags in the trunk and follow our noses west.
I'd like to see as much scenic, twisty stuff as possible on this trip, so I'd 
like to hear from you on fun roads/routes to take.  Right now we are thinking 
about hitting Carlsbad Caverns, Petrified forest, and the Grand Canyon, but 
we weren't planning on making definite plans about where we're going, so 
anything's possible (as long as it's cheap!).  Any attractions that are 
automotive related are a plus, but historical, natural, or musical 
attractions are just as welcome.  Anything blues related out there?  My 
girlfriend wants to see unusual roadside attractions.  I was thinking maybe 
route 66 as well.
I'll probably be driving my new (to me) 87 325i which I'm getting next week, 
but I may talk my girlfriend into roughing it in the spider, (probably not, 
but . . .).
Anybody feel like following (or leading) us to any of these or other 
attractions?
Anyway, let me know where the twisties are!!
Thanks,
