I hear you, George! Probably not, but then I shouldn't be doing anything I do with vertigo either. Grin. I have several advantages over your car ride on Pikes Peak. My vertigo is constant, as in my mind never has an idea where I am in space, so there aren't any surprises from it, the only issue is "how well can I cut through it?" That's where proprioception comes in. The only way I can run or ride a bike is by going barefoot or in minimalist shoes. The feedback from my feet tells by body where I am in space though by brain hasn't a clue. We all have this capacity, but most of us go around with "blinders" on our feet. Grin. God's engineering really is amazing!
Hopefully my next Pikes Peak attempt will reach above tree line. I wimped out at Glen Cove my first go.
