I'm thinking back to the heady days of the Hyundai Excel, whose AC was welcome in our balmy, sticky summers but I still had to turn off when approaching hills if I wanted to top them before lunchtime...

Did I mention I live in the foothills of the Appalachians? It's nothing but hills around here. And do I miss said Hyundai, and its tiny no-guts engine? Oh, no.
