When I was an apprentice our coordinator of the entire program got a new car from the organized labor Local directors. One of those Economical Olds diesels. The coordinator had to cover a rather large territory as part of his job. Mexican border to Monterey County border and a good share of southern Nevada. We saw him at school one Saturday and his new Olds, "It's a gutless POS going up Cajon Pass!" 1200' elevation to 4000' elevation in about 5 miles. "It just barely goes up the grade at 50mph." "So drop it down a gear when you climb" we said. "I should have thought of that. It will pass anything on the road in second." he said next we saw him :lol:
