The Kank was the sickest thing I've ever been a party to.
The SUV's ditching off to the berms, the tourons panicking as the spectre
of the Four-Ringed Beast rapidly gained, swung left, and then disappeared
into the splendor of the White Mountains, the sensation of ABS fighting
lock-up as the pilot of the large sedan prepared for the washboard in the
180 degree switchback, passing four "mortal" cars at a clip, blowing up
Koni struts, and then, after it was all over, getting the shakes on the
drive home when you check the trip computer and find that your _average_
speed for the _day_ was in excess of 60mph.
No. To do it again would tempt fate.
But...it sure was fun!
