    If I can't maintain minimum 40mph on the highway then that's my cue to find parking

    I've had fedex blow my doors off in Wyoming in blinding snow and the response I got from him was this...if I slow down I'm going to lose traction..what an idiot...

    He is right! But he is wrong if you are running mountains you do want to keep up speed but no blowing doors off 25-35 is good enough to maintain traction. But if the snow is blinding that traction isnt as important as being safe. They are fed Wrex for a reason what do you expect.

    LOL, can't even come up with a smart ### remark about this guy. No joke does this guy any justice. This does sound like a good excuse to tell the officer when blowing red lights though.

    He is right! I too have 2Fast 2Furious multi-level spoilers on my Kenworth to give it extra downforce in those low traction situations.

    Man Georgia has some nice back roads I drove from Jacksonville to Augusta stress free and at nearly high way speed. I think I want to come back south really soon.
