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.
