Flying high

[AlmondTurbo]

I just got back from a trip over the Sierra Nevada mountains, from Fresno, CA to Reno Nevada. I have friends there, and don't gamble, (I meed the money for PT upgrades). The highest altitude reached was 9,614 ft. (Sonora Pass), mostly two lanes. There is nothing like being slowed down by a truck and several late model sedans, reaching a passing lane at 7,500 ft. or more and a steep up-grade where all the traffic pulls to the right lane (because they are all out of breath). I step on the gas, my turbo-lite recovers all the power lost to the high altitude, and I blast by. I'm leaving the '2.4L TURBO' on the hatch so everyone knows what just went by them. I enjoy the turbo all the time, but most of all in the high mountains. If you were living in Florida, and looked straight up 1.7 miles, you would be looking at the bottom of my '04 Touring Turbo. Take a look. Darrell
