Ah, yes, driving through BC. My dad and I went to see cousins this summer, and woah! We have a diesel sedan, which is great for milage, but doesn't do anything up hills...we had trucks tailgaiting because we could only get about 70 or 80 KM/h up the huge hills. And of course, my dad wanted me to drive the toughest part of the highway in Southern BC (no, not the Ski to Sky or the Malahat...besides, the Malahat is easy) and I ended up having to avoid a huge elk lying across the road (I wanted to call animal services to help it, but alas, no cell service) and then a jack-knifed truck!

And you know, in BC, you really get a good lesson in driving. Rain, snow, sleet, sun, and of course, pollen.
