[W126 Coupe] Tredway Emails?

[Michael Ramay]

I found the Colorado DOT highway web site that provides cameras all along
the highways and the average speeds at several locations. It's bookmarked in
my iPhone!! Turns out that with a five hour window, I can leave Denver and
get far enough west to be out of the danger zone. When I drove to Denver on
Nov 12th, the first mountain east of Vail had ice under the snow. I was out
of the way in the right lane on my 245/45/18 Falkens, with the GPS reading
17 mph and the speedo reading around 40mph!! Fat dry weather tires on a
lowered high-torque MB just doesn't cut it!! Give it a little gas, catch the
slide to the right, give it a little gas catch the slide to the left, repeat
repeat repeat. :-)
