If I wanted a convertible to experience that scenery my first choice would have been and SL, but they are too small for me. So I think one of the 71 thru 76 Eldorado's would do.

The leaves are past prime and the weather is going to be poor this week, so no drop top!



I'd wait and take a 4X4 towing a couple of sleds!

TR6--with the top down, and the windows up and the heater on...if necessary.

My TR6 owning friend recently borrowed by extended cab 3/4 ton diesel pick up---He said " It was a white-knuckle experience" My street is the narrowest street in the county that permits parking on both sides. The Fire dept uses it for driver training.
I told him that truck weighs more than all of the 3 vehicles he currently has tagged----TR6, Honda Fit, Kia Forte. The truck has an empty weight of about 7200 pounds!

While a hyperbike may get one's adrenal glands a flowin' . . . from Stowe to Smuggler's Notch, I'd take it easy.
