RE: Driving Mountain Passes
Simple: Don't lug it!!  Be patient and use the lower gears, that's why they
are there.  Watch the temperature gauge but if your cooling system is in
good shape you should be okay.  And on the down side, again, use the lower
gears to make sure you still have brakes left when you need them.
