Driving my NA diesel up the Rockies . . .

. . . am I gonna make it? Ha. Ha.

I am driving out to Denver this week - actually, once I get to Denver I need to drive out to Silverthorne - so it about 60 miles past Denver up the mountains to Eisenhower Tunnel.

I think I'll be alright since I'll be on I-70 and I shouldn't have to slow down for anything (hopefully the weather is good) - although the nono-turbo engine doesn't really love the hills - especially from a dead stop.
