Wink Amazing trip up to the mountains with the 8!!

... besides that the car started lossing power when we got to the mountains and the couple long starts, and cant forget about the flooded engine when i got to the last stop. . so to start off why all this happened was because my car ran like **** and found out that the coils were done, so i replaced them about 2 days ago, lastnight picked the car up from the dealer because they did some recall and reset the ecu to the new coils and plugs, and so it ran really good, no rough idle, good accel, etc. so i wanted to test the car by taking it up to the mountains... not a good idea. haha

I took mine from Denver down to Pueblo on interstate, then back up past the Gorge, to Cripple Creek on back roads, then on the sportbike twisties through Pike National Forest back to Conifer, then back to Denver.

Didn't mind the altitude at all. The car is great, I find myself running ridiculous speeds on back roads just because it will do it and not be bothered.
