If I can go, I'll pick you up. I'll let you know as the week progresses.

I'm thinking ... If I had a tow truck ... I wonder how much money I could make off the "almost made it all the way up Mary's Peak" crowd?

Bruce,

From all the hype you've been posting about the super 7, it shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to get to the top. You can coast all the way back; back down to the shop to have the engine rebuilt.

By the way Bob, I hope you're not really planning on driving a tow truck up Mary's Peak, unless you call a GSL-SE convertible or an FD a tow truck.
(Hope you're coming!)

Went up Mary's Peak Tuesday... Beauty drive. ALL GATES ARE OPEN... although I will not be going past the second gate due to the snow pack.

Roadway is very clear before 1st gate and gets a little dirty (rocks / tree debree) past the 1st gate.

I plan on hit'n the road again today to keep myself fresh on it (and because its a freaking awesome drive).

Joe... you should ride shotgun today

Here's a pic of my car about 3/4 the way up...

A helluva fun time. Not many cars but good guys and o.k. weather. COLD at the top but no rain, mostly dry and NO TRAFFIC up the hill (except for the slow/fast/slow/fast driving of the Civic guy coming down). Looking forward to some pics/video.... Where was Bob?
