    Unfortunately, these social mediums of communication will never be substitutes for face-to-face conversations. It's likely we agree rather than disagree, as these social media suggest.

    Again, it's likely we agree. As a lay driver, I am in no position to challenge on a social forum a professional driver about driving. Nope.

    The 3-6+ second rule between vehicles is a reasonable distance on every road regardless of speed. Hope that helps.

    India and I took two cracks at the NMBDR before bailing out after getting stuck in the snow a million and one times.

    Our trip report is in two continuous threads, as I lacked the foresight to post them as individual threads (and, after the fact, lacked the interest to go back and redo them).

    I see you were exploring Gold Camp Road/ Old Stage Road! I love it there, driven it several times all the way through to Cripple Creek.

    Where is that exactly?

    Last weekend I drove by Christopher creek passed Payson on my way to Colorado and it was gorgeous.

    on the way back I drove through 4 corners and it was very stormy with high winds blowing sand on the road then hit a snowstorm going through Flagstaff. It was fun though.

    Actually it's from a 3D model I got online. :D

    It does look like a viable design though!

    It's a background model in Fusion but it does look like it could either of those two places!

    It's easy to spot the CGI, since there isn't a speck of dust on the tires in spite of driving through a desert, and the interior is more visible than in any 4Runner photo I've seen, but still a fun photoshop job.
