    It’s so good, the spaced armor on the turret and upper front plate makes you basically invulnerable to HESH and HEAT shells. Reduces HE damage too. Gun is a tack driver too lol

    Ok we finally made it thru that mess. Took us 4 hours from gallup to the arizona border. Unreal. Eastbound is still shutdown. And up ahead in flagstaff is shutdown as well.... I40 strikes again.... Goodnight

    And now you realize why the U.S. took the rest of the land down further south by force (where I10 runs). Gave a year round lowland (no snow (well Ok... very rare snow) route to the Pacific.

    We just got shut down near gallop heading east. Was icy by flagstaff. It's not the snow. It's the ice.

    Nah,... Elk Mountain, -15°, 50 mph headwind gusting to 60 mph, snowing enough that it's a white-out ground blizzard, drifting snow knee deep... At about midnight.

    I've yet to see WY put up the chain law in the last 4 winters on any of the roads I run... But that dont mean you can get through without them either.

    90 was like a sheet of glass thus morning between Billings and Bozeman... 1 truck jack-knifed in the ditch... A few cars in the ditch.

    Me... Boogying along empty at 55 to 60 as long as I couldnt see any vehicles in my mirrors or out in front of me. But had to ease it down a bit on the hills, if I accelerated up the hills I'd break traction and get squirrely.
