Here's a story:
A man bearing my last name from Louisiana once had an import car called a Spyder. It was a mid-engined 2 seat convertible. He and his friend decided they would pack their gear, drive to Colorado shortly after new years and go skiing for a week. He didn't consider the weather or his car's winter capabilities. He experienced difficulty along the way...
That was 1972 and the man was my father. He was driving a Fiat. I didn't learn and did the very same thing. The car experienced a severe lack of power once I broke 9000ft. As I was sitting there...sideways at a stop in the middle of I-70 1/4mile short of the Eisenhower tunnel at 11019ft...the irony of the situation struck me.
I think my brain has been turned off the last 23 years.
In the end I made it. A week of skiing and drinking in Keystone, CO should do me good. Job is getting me down lately and whatnot.
Cheers.
