I have to go with one of the Bourne movies, probably the first one.

As tempting as it is to go for a 'car' movie, or even a movie about racing, I love the driving done for the Bourne movies - so I'll go with the first of them. All the driving was done by a real driver, without the aid of CGI. The kind of precision driving that requires, along with the inability to damage too many vehicles beforehand, means the skills of the stunt drivers were exceptional.

Yeah, I gotta go with The Bourne Identity. It's truly exceptional driving.

If it had been plural, I'd have said the whole damned series - but the series with that bald-headed action star (Fast and Furious, I think?) has some pretty sweet driving in it, as well.

(Pardon me, if I'm not here long. I may fall asleep.)

W12 phaeton is a phenomenal car for the money. If you're brave enough for the repairs.

Flat 6, cummins is king but the pre vanos BMW are very good smooth revving engines.

The older vtechs flat 4s I used to abuse thoroughly, they can take it.

As far as diesels, I like the new 6.7 powerstroke the best. Even with a heavy ass load and the DEF and EGR it hauls ass

I gave my son my F-250, with the plow and broadcast sander. So, I'll be buying a new plow truck and it will (again) be a diesel. It's probably going to be another F-250 Super Duty.

They're good truck they cold start better than most. Off road is very good. My only real issue is the aluminum bed. I've already seen holes punched in one.

Get a new superduty or at least a newer one that has the 6.7. The previous gen engines are absolutely atrocious

The bed being made of aluminum doesn't really bother me much. In the winter, it will have the worst of it - when it holds a broadcast sander and has the plow mounted. The rest of the year, it won't be doing much except maybe holding some tires, a grill, a box of spare parts, and towing a car trailer.

It'll also be in a heated garage, so starting it isn't a problem. It'll be plugged in, just in case. Where I live, we're kinda used to plugging things in during the winter. You just kinda get used to it after the first winter here.

So, yeah... Just plowing and sanding will be the heavy work. It'll tow, but it's only going to tow a single car hauler with a stripped out Impreza on it. That's not exactly going to tax it, even in the mountains.
