Car and Driver has selected Charlottesville as one of the best cities for drivers in America [here’s a PDF of the Car and Driver article].
Aside from being a college town, and filled with "Dave Matthews Band groupies" and lady arm wrestlers, Charlottesville has “one of motoring’s most divine spectacles:” Skyline Drive. “It’s arguably the most scenic drive east of the Mississippi.”
According to the article, Charlottesville is home to 218 days of sunshine a year and 16 city traffic cops.
Ultimately, these 10 places, including Charlottesville, are “exceptional cities in which to live, be and hit the road in a great car:" Honolulu, Hawaii; Santa Barbara, California; Mill Valley, California; Phoenix, Arizona; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Austin, Texas; Raleigh, North Carolina; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Detroit, Michigan.
