George,

Actually I don't mind going slow I just don't want to destroy my freshly rebuilt engine. I drive frequently drive over the Talmadge Bridge in Savannah which is 4 % with no problems. I just don't drive 70. I start out at 55-60 in fourth and it stays all the way up just fine. I was really looking more for personal experience with the interstates around Asheville rather than unhelpful comments.

Kurt, my man, here are your choices: either move to Kansas and never leave again, or else sell the Vanagon.
