tough not to warm up your car for at least a few minutes before driving when it's an old diesel that shakes the dash and sounds like rod knock when it's properly cold 😅

When did Spike turn into such a curmudgeon?
Don Hodgdon
Sorry Johnny, I have to call bullshit on your comment that everyone stays in their lane on Angeles Crest. I was nearly killed in 1990 by a Goldwing rider who crossed over the centerline and hit me head-on. It happens way to often. Be careful up there!
