Free scenic byways book......

I found this over on the Miata.net site.

If you would like a free book of great roads for our cars go to www.byways.org. The book is by National Geographic and is offered free by the "National Scenic Byways Program. If you were to buy it in a store it will cost $25.00. It lists 275 of the best drives in the U.S. Now these are scenic roads, not necessarily the twisties we like. The emphasis is on the views and scenery, but each of these 275 roads is a great drive. It's a free small book and it fits perfictly in an MINI door pocket. Did I mention FREE! Go to the site and click on the "Get Your American Byways Brochure" and about 8 weeks later you will get it.

It's been a while so I don't remember exactly. I want to say 1200 or so. Too long.

Here's an 07 manual. I'd guess that would tell you.

Yes it does, but what comes is a great book. Not a brochure.

Got mine earlier this week as well. Started looking for at some alternative routes for our upcoming vacation (even though we will be in the Rav4).
