20 Fbods cruised to the top of Mt. Evans, 14,260 ft.
It is the Highest Auto road in North America.
There was a quick blast of snow at the summit.

Along the road...
 -

Looking down on other mountains...
 -

Waiting for some stragglers before the uphill climb
 -

Other then the snow at the summit it was a perfect day! I have a video I am working on. I will post it when it is done.

Here is the Video. I had to shrink it alot and it gets a little long on the twisties, when I chopped it I got some dups that I didn't see. I was in a hurry and didn't go back as I made it.

O M G...........don't tell Milli (CYTRUFFLE)about the snow!!!! She probably would rather have been there than on the Hot Rod Power Tour. That girl has got a real "thing" for snow.

BTW, your pictures are great!

WOW. The second picture looks almost the same as the top of Logan's Pass on the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. We have seen snow there in August.

BTW, nice pic's and sounds like it was a great drive.......I miss the mountains!!!

They start to run pretty rich and lose alot of power. But when your 1 foot away from rolling down the mountain your not doing any powerslides (unless your racing Pikes Peak!) The computer seems to do a pretty good job of adjusting but there is no good substitute for O2! We did lose 1-3rd gen to a radiator.
