Fun to see suv driver's faces when you roar past them in a low displacement 4 pot compact :^]

They wouldn't be roaring past me in my SUV ;)

SUV? =A0Well, there's YA sign of overcompensation.

And an anemic/effeminate Miata can hardly go up a hill, let alone roar past anything.

Oh, I'm sure that a Miata can easily "roar past" an SUV that's run ou=

of $5 gas...

Not mine ;)

Denial: =A0an even louder sign of overcompensation.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

I can recall my SUV days, particularly a camping trip out in Colorado, while following a Winnebago which was also towing a sedan:

Really?

Navigator: =A0"Why don't you step on it to get around this Winnebago?" Driver: =A0"I'm trying to."

Not my fault you bought a crappy SUV.

An unfounded opinion based on no data. It was a Suburban with optional engine upgrade, optional fuel tank, towing package, etc. It outclassed the Toyota of its day in every category...well, except for fuel pump reliability :-)

Nav: =A0"But you're still behind him and doing only ~20mph" Driver: "Yes, but it [the SUV] has been floored for the last ~10 minutes..."

Welcome to Wolf Creek Pass.

LOL. A Sequoia Plat could do that hauling 8000 lbs.

Your kayaks are that heavy?

In any event, you're showing your lowlander's ignorance of the effects of altitude: the rule of thumb is -3% per 1,000ft. Wolf Creek is nearly 11K; do the math. Its not a question of eventually getting there, but how quickly, since that's work*time.

Do try to keep up and spare us the irrelevant nostalgia.

Do try to keep denying that you're still trying to compensate:

How about a photo of that big boy, big boy? Make sure to include the dogs too :-)
