Working on cars I can't afford
Hey all,
I recently got back from a trip to colorado and while I was out there I went to Vail thus driving in and out of the Vail pass. Going into Vail I had no real problems but coming out was another story. While climbing the 6.5% grade out of the pass, the 80 could only muster about 35mph and was running at about 210 degrees of water temp. Granted I had 6 people in the car and some gear but I feel like it was a little too underpowered. Is this normal for a cruiser with 234,000miles? Thanks
