The tree of shame is real. It's not uncommon for bikers to come sliding down the last stretch on their backsides past Deal's Gap - the gas and biker shop at the end.
If you have power steering make, you'd best have a cooler. I don't think I ever made it out of second gear in a new TransAm I made the drive in a couple times- definitely not the ideal vehicle.
The biggest thing they ticket for on the actual Tail is crossing the center line. It's tough to speed (and the speed limit was 30 I think).
The Cherohala (I think it's called) is also a great drive. Not nearly as twisty - so there is a chance to enjoy the scenery - although saw a couple good accidents unfortunately.
