I agree with the 2nd gear start. That seems to be the best for me here in Utah.

Hope the chains go on easily, dude!
This Sunday was just another perfect day in Malibu! Sunny, 72 degrees...
At least one of those days when it isn't On FIRE!

I have to get sandbags tonight because now they car calling for 5 inches tomorrow night.
How did your speedo read 70 in first? Isn't the relationship engine speed to tire rotation essentially with the gearing? Engine load regardless, 5000 RPM in first gear should be the same "tire speed" moving or not, right?
I have know idea how, I hit the gas the speedo moved up to 60-70mph. Will this damage the gears or engine I did stay off the rev limiter the whole time with the exception of once.
