Beautiful.   You are braver than me; I would not want to drive my 280 down mountain roads.

Sehr Schon!

Forget the mountain roads, I got the jitters seeing the car so close to the edge ...

It's the shoulder. A pull-out for parking and viewing. You don't really "drive" there. Besides, anybody ever been to Mt Evans, Pikes Peak or Mt Washington? No guardrails in some stretches. Really scary.

It's only scary if you've left the road.
