That’s how long it took me to get home last night. I don’t think I went above 40 mph the entire way and only once or twice did I ever get to 3rd gear. So basically I gave my truck what is colloquially known as an “Italian Tune-Up”. (Note - I’m part Italian and don’t mean to offend anybody. Not my term anyway.)
Needless to say stick-shift is fun and wonderful for a great many driving experiences but slow-speed snow is not one of them as my sore legs and right arm will attest.
