It was cold, but the sun was shining so I went. The climb from 5280 to 11,013 was mostly WOT in 4th, with a lot of shifts down to 3rd to stay above 45mph, and a few shifts up to 5th. MaEsTRO is spinning a lot more rubber than he's used to, and it's harder to walk in snowshoes. With the studded snows, I never felt a twitch on some stuff that was hard to walk on it was so slick.

He's a little beat up, but not bad for $350, and I won't feel bad about experimenting with him to make him a true eco-mod.

The previous owner wanted everyone to know, this Metro has balls!
