Ahhh wait till you come off Donner pass when your truck decides to show under its hood, took a jackhammer to wedge me off that seat.
Heck drive Donner Pass when its covered in about 3inches of ice
and it's the only way out of Truckee and you "HAVE" to get out.
THIS will give you an idea of how bad it was. They shut the passes road down as we topped the hill and we were the last truck on it..Joe
Actually, not to play the "I can top that game," but I can... I drove over Donner Pass in a blizzard at midnight a few years ago, and they shut down all the roads then, too. I was driving a '70 Challenger that was the stunt car for the TV-remake of "Vanishing Point." In the movie, the car is very dirty. In real life, that dirt is brown paint sprayed on the car, including over the headlights. The lights were about 60-percent covered with brown paint. And when we hit the dimmer switch for the Brites... well, all the lights on the car turned off.
