The outside temperature is 100 or so and the hill is steep. My trusty 911 went up the hill with no issue and never got above 210.

I presume the more modern cars can do it with no issues. I did that trip in 2007 and several of the 10 or 12 year old cars were pulled over with steam blowing out. No steam from my 911!
I used to live in El Centro just south of the 8. Know that road well.

I have a lot to catch up on but thought I would leave this with you all and see if my expectations are too high for one of the places we stayed at.

When you pee into an empty toilet then flush said toilet, there should not be poop in it afterwards. Am I correct in this?
