: Thanks for the info. Tom. I'll let you know how it goes (IF I go). I really didn't know all that stuff about the inspection. I really wasn't planning on driving the Maverick up but now that you mention it, I just might...

: : :
: : : : Well, I'm embarrassed to say that during the 23 years that I've lived here, I've never been to the top of Pike's peak. But I plan to go this summer. I have never heard of any kind of safety-check though...
: : : : :

: : : :
: : : : : Can Your mav make it to Pike's peak,and back and wi
: : : : : ll they let you if you know what I mean Have been to Pike's peak before and they do a safety check before they let you on the road
: : : : : !

: : : 23 years in Colorado and never been to Pike's Peak? Well don't be embarrassed,My Brother lived in Colorado Springs for years and never made it to the top,that is untill I took Him,I was driving a 19 T#@*&^@%,rack & pinon,4 wheel disc,the works,No it was not a Maverick,the car was made in England.
: : : As far as the safety check goes(thats if they still do it) be prepared!
: : : The first they do is check "YOU" out,are you on drugs?Been drinking? Did you just skip out of the loony bin?Why else would you want to "TRY" and drive to the top of Pike's Peak?
: : : Then comes the once over on the car,and if you pull up in a Maverick they will surely check you out again for drugs!
: : : Once pass that,they pop the hood ,is your windshield washer fluid full?Are all your belts and hoses in good shape? Is your oil and water OK?Let's have a look at your tires,do you have a spare? A jack? How much gas do you have?Let's look at your air filter,why is your steering so lose? Do you know where you are and where your going?
: : : Hey look! this wiper blade seems a little dry!
: : : Let's pull this wheel off and have a look at the breaks(they will do this) If you pass all this ,your on your way,and I'll tell you hang on cause it's it's switchback all the way.
: : : "IF" you do this,this summer like you say,be sure and have your picture taken at the top,yeah they charge you for the picture,but if "YOU" make it in a Maverick we all would like to see our car "ON TOP OF THE WORLD"
: : : Just get the Mav in good shape and you'll do fine,good luck
: : : Tom

: : Get sarah a t-shirt from the top

Now its (IF) you go! Well just do it !It 's one hell of a drive! And I know the Maverick can make it!
You are on the spot now,Live in Colorado and right by Pike's Peak! Do this for all the Maverick folks out there!"YOU CAN MAKE IT"
y the way "do not wash the car" it's all dirt and when you "MAKE IT TO THE TOP" just smile!
