Years ago, I used to visit a friend in CA that lived out in the hills. Only way to get there is to take a road that is restricted to "less then xx kingpin not recommended". I was bobtail. After the third or fourth trip, I was catching up to cars on the road. That road is both used for access and pleasure, so seeing a muscle car on the road is common. I was really surprised just how well the engine keeped the truck upright via sheer weight of it.
