We took my Mazda Miata to Colorado on vacation early Sept. had a great time driving in the mountains. Plenty of power on those mountain roads and just a thrill to drive there.
on the way home on I-80, we were rear ended by a semi tractor tanker. Totalled the Miata, my knees are pretty well banged up, wife has some issues with tears in cerebral lining of her brain, but we are alive and survived. That car took a beating and we walked away. Lucky I think, as the tanker was empty.
So time to get the Jetta ready for another winter in Wisconsin.
If you've never driven, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Pikes Peak, the Million Dollar Highway (Co. 150) and Wolf Creek Pass on Co. 160 you've got to do it. In some ways I would have preferred the Jetta, for all that torque, but still a blast. Definitely white knuckle driving much of the time, no guard rails, a long way down as well.
