Im glad Kia got the EDM Stinger, because I don’t like orange side markers.

And I bet that Charger’s tires are pretty bald and they won’t be able to move the wreckage.

This section of the Mexico-Toluca is very dangerous because there’s a very long bend just after a tunnel; it so happens that before the tunnel there was no hail, and after it there was. I would’ve crashed if it wasn’t for the highway patrol slowing us down before the tunnel.

I took another irresponsible photo:

People in SUVs on all seasons were trying to push their way between the 2WD cars. It was very disturbing

That’s like at least two inches of standing hail.

In total four cars and possibly a motorcycle

Maybe I invented the term out of misunderstanding top gear. i mean a very long, somewhat tight corner.

Trust me, there’s no reason to believe you misunderstood. I’m the guy who drives slow Jeeps slow.

I’m familiar with the term so it's not just you.

You definitely didn’t make that up but not all vehicles (ie Jeeps) are cut out for it.

Oh trust me, you can make a WK2 do whatever you want so long as you have very little regard for your safety . Looking back I was a much more aggressive driver back when I had the WK2 because I knew the 60 profile tires would survive any pothole. I kinda baby the Kia or else those 35 profile tires don’t last.

Looking back, Im surprised Im still alive.

I have steel wheels with big sidewall on the Cruze so I’m not scared of potholes but I still am careful when throwing it into some corners because of my crap tires. With good tires and a good driver with balls of steel , I am sure a Jeep can corner pretty hard but not everyone is cut out to try.
