Snip

I can understand why you might want lots of grunt,
having driven the Peak to peak highway in Colorado, in the "springtime".
Hell it only snowed four inches the day I drove the route.
However - I did drive it quite OK in a 1600cc Mazda auto. The scary part
of the trip was not the snow and high altitude - it was looking out of
the window at the eye-level hubcaps on the "Full Size Trucks" people use
out there...

Heh.

Speaking of minority fringe, apparently some of them live in Colorado.

My glider tow vehicle weighs 2600 lb ready to tow (though it is a V8),
while the primary VE-hickle is a 2000 lb, 1990, 1.5L Honda CRX-HF whose
roofline hasn't come up to most U.S. pickup/SUV HOODlines for most of
its life. You (almost!) get used to it...

Both have been on the Peak-to-Peak. Neither has (yet) been hit by a
Behemoth...

Fringely Yours,
Bob W.
