    Those are how they receive the transmissions from the mother planet in Alpha Centuri

    Also on an unrelated note. That is a nice blue for your truck, Dave

    Im not always bumped up against it. Infact at most I run 70-72 depending where I'm at (loaded). Usually try to keep it around 68.

    The issue becomes when you get into places like Austin the speed limit is 70, cars are trying to do 80 in all 3 lanes, then here's Mr Mega doing 62 or even worse if it's Prime doing 55, causing a bottleneck in the center lane because people won't slow up and then they pile up trying to go left/right around him.

    If these guys would stay in the right lane and putt along there would be 2 open lanes people could move freely past, not having to change lanes.

    The difference between 62 and 68 is about $10K a year when you buy your own fuel.
