Driving Uphill

Why do people drive slower when going uphill?

- Is it like, more difficult, or something?
- Is it that they aren’t in good enough shape perhaps?
Yes!! That’s it… the drivers of other vehicles are actually SO obese that their cars are literally not powerful enough to propel their great density to greater altitude.

What's this got to do with Z drivers?

I'm talking about every vehicle that can't seem to compensate for a slight incline.

yah, i noticed this especially on expressways when i have my cruise set.

i wonder wat it feels like in san fransisco though... probably launch off the ground at every hill top. lol
