Only a minor glitch.
You can always check stuff in preview to see if it works.
I only removed a stray bit that was gumming things up.

Watch out for speed going downhill!! I remember another post about smoking brakes at the bottom of a hill. Seems like most vehicles have a comparable ability to go uphill with the engine as they do brakes to stop going downhill. In other word given a stock truck or bus or RV, don't go faster downhill (engine and transmission braking) than you can go up the same hill. Then you won't cook the brakes.

Cedar pass westbound uphill 45-48 mph (RV) pedal to the floor. Going down that same hill, downshift, put the tranny in tow-haul mode so it doesn't upshift, and there is plenty of brakes.....Downhill at 55+ it gets dicey..

Unfortunately there is no pattern to braking design.
It pays to know your vehicle.

Older vehicles in particular may be inadequate, as they were built for different tires.
Even a car with brakes adequate for racing once, may not be up to modern demands.

My leg still hurts from driving Bovina halfway across the world to work on a stupid horror movie.

Too bad El Playa Blanca is too far away for my $15k helicopter with the oil leak (lol)

We'd never fit all that stuff in the helicopter anyway.

We could put wheels on her and call her an art car. Or use her to decimate the shirt cocker population from 200 feet.
