So, Mt. Washington?
 

Yup, we went away for a few days this week. Went up to the white mountains and drove the z up to the top of Mt. Washington. Snapped a few pics just cause I had to. Also, found out they offer specials for car clubs... :)

Anyhow, here's one of the view:

looks like ya had fun
I hiked up that when i was a kid in the boy scouts but never drove up the mountain.

thats awesome i have been up there many times but i dont think i have ever seen a camaro up there before lol

Nice pics man. Hope you had a good time.

Dawg would have made it up there with no rubber left.... spinn them tires all the way to the top.. lol

looks awesome up there kids look happy to

nah i doubt it.
those inclines are pretty steep and car would most likely overheat .
but It would be nice to see a first gen at the top though!

Sweet! What's the elevation anyway?

nice!

Iirc it's 6,288 ft.

And don't worry Dawg, I'll have my 68 up there when it's all back together. It's one of my goals with the car. Hopefully next year some time if all goes well ;)

^ Why do they make such a big deal out of it if it's only 6200 ft? No to sound like an ass, but all those bumper stickers out there. Shit, the rockies was 14k ft. No wonder the truck had NO POWER climbin that shit. Had to stand on it to get it to do 65. CMIIW, but don't the carb'd cars take to altitude changes easier since FI cars are one set parameter and will run lean or rich if you vary from that programed altitude?

mt washington is mainly known for its weather...up untill a month or two ago it held the highest recorded wind speeds and the weather up there can be 65 and sunny then be rainy and 50 20 mins later its crazy

Yeah. They make it a big deal since it's the highest peak wound here. Not only that but it isn't exactly a nice smooth paved city road. It's a steep grade with lots of sharp twists and turns. There's also no gaurdrails next to steep drops so it tends to freak a lot of people out.

And yeah, then there's the weather. The last time we went up before this we took the jeep. It was 90 out so we left the doors off.
Well, we got to the top and it was 34 degrees with wet almost 50mph winds. Needless to say we froze our asses off lol.

Basically it's just a cool tourist attraction ;)

And yes, highest ever recorded wind speed of 231 mph was on top of there.

At least they were still claiming that when we were there. Where beat them?

I took my Escort up the road once with a leaky radiator. :haha:

It really is awesome, you pass through the tree line about 2/3 of the way up, and it abruptly turns from forest to rock. Head up there on a 90 degree day at sea level and you will need a winter coat at the top. Wild stuff.

i forget what beat them but i they claimed to get 236 but i shrugged it off because i feel mt washington kicks ass anyways lol

Wow, that IS nuts. NE is a crazy place for weather anyway. We used to do canyon carving runs up to Sun Spot observatory in New Mexico. Started at 4300 ft and climbed to 9600ft. Smooth roads, but it would boil my PS fluid every damn time. I kept it under 100 as there were no guard rails either. 0_o

nice! I hope to make that drive in my camaro some day as well!

Very Cool. but in light of recent crashes!!! im not going to attempt it. my luck id be THAT guy who loses it over the edge!

well dont drive like a jackass! hahahaha

umm... you should know as well as we all do that... its hard for him not to drive like an ass-jack.

haha..ya i kno its hard..i kno for me tho if something bad happens i learn my lesson for the most part and try to restrain myself haha

lol yes gals have a tendency to do that... where as rahtards like most of us have a tendency to completely block out the bad things that have happened in the passed and say "well... this didn't work the first time, but i'm doin it again." haha

... or maybe i should just speak for myself.

lol thats cause girls are smarter duh!

nice. havent been there in over 15 years

havent been up there since i was 10! you should have put it on the rims at the top, bet that would be a first!

If they'd let me I'd be all over it. Hard to get away up there though lol

i wanna take the train up. that looks cool. i wouldnt take my car up there.

Cog railway=$65 per person

Taking your own car=$23 for car/driver. Passengers extra. Iirc the whole family was $36 :)

i think tonys tranny would over heat and exploded half way up!! i wont do it in my car either, Damn!

the train is expensive but sooo sick i did it probably like 10 years ago some of the track is sooo steep its incredible

Pro Built 4l60e = $1500

Brand new Yank SS3600 = $750

i'll take the railway lol

Ok, I can almost accept Tonys excuse but what about yours mike? You've got a stick. Does the extra 60 horse yours makes make it that much more undriveable lol?

Poons!!!

hahaha! i tell u wat i could ride shotgun and be camera man

do you forget i have an over bored and stroked motor...... haha im all set with heat soaking the FUCK out of my car and hurting somthing Just to say i did it. ill take the S10 up!! hahaha

get a turbo diesel, silly gas engines.

:p yeah yeah. In all honesty it's really not all that bad I've had four out of the five cars in my sig up there, and the fifth will go to after I get it back together.

Course you're also talking to the guy who drove his 68 to Florida twice, Detroit for the Woodward dream cruise, and just all over the place in general. I guess to me a car just isn't a car if I can't use it like one :)

I'd do it in the T/A if the carb wouldnt act up.

plain and simple im a pussy
