    So I'm planning on taking the Ferrari on a good long trip this coming weekend. All the way to Minneapolis. Now the interesting thing is what route to take?

    What I currently have is this: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=Chicago&daddr=beloit,+il+to:monroe,+wi+to:Argyle,+Lafayette,+Wisconsin,+United+States+to:Hollandale,+Iowa,+Wisconsin,+United+States+to:dodgeville,+wi+to:Boaz,+Richland,+Wisconsin,+United+States+to:la+crosse,+wi+to:Winona,+Minnesota,+United+States+to:red+wing,+wi+to:Minneapolis&mrcr=0&sll=43.446245,-90.47299&sspn=5.120713,8.717651&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=9&ll=42.591511,-89.01947&spn=2.596248,4.358826&om=1

    Any suggestions for alterations or other must-drive roads?

    Kind of difficult. I am not familiar with 14 so don't know how good of a road that is. I would stick to the Interstate. Looks like a few extra miles, but probably fewer stops and may be faster overall.

    Either way in your Ferrari, it is all good. Have a great drive!!

    Oh, I'm definitely not looking to make good time. The straight run can be done in about 6 hours. I'm happy adding another 4 to get some great spirited driving in ;)

    I'd also look at either on the way up or back from LaCrosse to hit WI 35 to Hudson vs. MN 61. Both are great roads. MN will be heavier traffic, but better overall pavement. WI 35 has in my opinion better scenery and better curves, etc. but the pavement isn't as good and you need to watch where you are driving more often.

    I live up here and have driven those routes many times.

    If you come up MN side, make sure to take MN 19 just north of Redwing and then Cty 7 North. GREAT road......

    How long are you up for?
