I learned a few things on this year's Epic Drive.
- This is Will Smith's element, he can hang with anyone on the twisties
- It is possible to run the fuel pump dry with 6-7 gallons in a late-model Thunderbird gas tank. All it takes is aggressively driving a 300 degree right hand turn at speed.
- Luckily, we were going downhill and able to hit an observation parking lot. It did not start the first time I tried and then I was busy muscling through the turns.
- If it weren't for a small-town police office, a shifter cable would not have broken until the next day when everyone was trying to head home.
- It is very possible to do these drives with a loose converter, but you better have a really good transmission cooler and lots of gas money (9.89 mpg on one leg).
- Chris Wise organizes fun events.
- My car's exhaust is obnoxiously loud in tunnels.
- It's weekend like this that make me love my car.
