<VV> Hills in Michigan...no Corvair

[Marc Sheridan]

You aren't listening, Matt. Dale said "more difficult highway grades", not 
the biggest or steepest hills. The Rockies are so steep that the roads have 
switchbacks, which lessen the grade. Back here in Ohio and probably where 
Dale is talking about in Michigan, the roads go straight up the hill, 
without switchbacks, meaning a steeper grade.
