What a bunch of sissies.

You think it’s bad now, you should have driven it back in the 50’s and 60’s before they put the dividers in and widened it.

I kept trying to get my ‘57 Pontiac convertible to do a drift. Damned front end kept scrubbing out and I didn’t have enough power to bring the rear around.

Those were the days.

New 80’s Ford company car, driving back from SC and the V6 crankshaft broke. As I was later informed.
Coming down that bobsled run with no engine and no power breaks or steering, late afternoon traffic and nowhere to go. Wrestled it down to Los Gatos somehow,found a pay phone and called the leasing company. Walked back to the Black Cat (is it still there?) and had myself a drink. Used up one of my lucky stars that day. New replacement car showed up a couple of hours later. Guy from the leasing company paid my tab.
Just a treacherous piece of road.
