Too hard on the transmission AND the brakes.  |
I agree. As a hiking fanatic, there's nothing worse than getting to the top of the Tuckerman's headwall and smelling raw eggs from the overheating brake pads of cars descending the mtn. It's bad enough with the coal smell of the train.
I've done the autoroad once, but it was in my dad's car. My car stays at the bottom!
