Considering this car is going into Death Valley for its first major trip, it could get interesting. I would like recommendations on places to see in the southwest - we're going to be following the old route 66 for a bit, do the extraterrestrial highway, and Zion/Bryce. Points of interest or favorite parks out there would be great to know about.

I like US 60 across New Mexico. Tight and twisty on the border, then a completely straight line through the Very Large Array. An old sign out in front of the VLA used to list speeding fines up to 100MPH over the limit. You read that right: posted fines up to 155MPH. At or around the end of that is I-25 and The Owl Bar in San Antonio, NM, home of the best Green Chile Cheeseburger in the world.

I was gonna recommend driving up Highway 666, but they renamed it to Highway 461. It has Mesa Verde and some other cool stuff on it. Chaco canyon, Acoma Pueblo, and other old Native Amercian sites are all out in that neck of the woods, too.

And almost no police of any kind.
