My advice? Wait a while for it to warm up then try. Roll down a hill or get
some Mexicans to push you, they love doing that sort of thing :=)

Sounds like the kind of prob any mechanic could fix.

When you get out of Walsenburg, you should head west on 160 (assuming
Matilda  is running good), the drive is beautiful and traffic is light over
La Veta pass. Go south at Ft. Garland to get to Taos, Santa Fe and
Albuquerque.
