Partial dichotomy

Green Mountain Boy
| I've been a fan of his for a long time. Great driving. I love that his cars are built in Vermont. I've driven that auto road it's bad enough at 20mph, can't imagine doing it at those speeds especially without a co-driver.

Almost as Fast as a Speeding Bullet
| I've always said that Rally style racing on dirt and snow is probably the most intense car racing I see. Others may disagree, but getting loose and sideways on the side of a mountain or through a town just can't be beat.

| Looks like a ton of fun, rally & hillclimb type stuff would be quite a fun sport to get into. Not too much of it here in TX, aside from rallycross.

The Karmanator
| There is a big bicycle race up the road every year. I did in once back in the 90s. It is crazy. |

As Extraordinary as Everyone Else
| I've driven that road before and it is steeper than it looks. Rally drivers have to be THE BEST drivers in the world, hands down.

Three Generations of Service
| He was a busy feller wasn't he? Love me some rally videos, those guys have some serious stones!

Driving up that at 15 mph is enough to scare the shit out of you. |
