    I dont have a GPS and my speedo quits at 85. About 2000 rpm in high gear #### starts feeling light so going on to 2150 or 2200 ain't happening

    I only dress like that for exercise and mowing grass. Have to take a break mowing and go get the truck around, then back mowing and have everything done for cookout at 5pm. I guess I'll just have to look like a Walmart customer.

    That’s your fault. If I remember right, it’s on the side of some highway in downtown Dallas, TX.

    Somebody told me you can count the broken lines in a passing zone or on a highway n figure it out... I felt like if you’re going fast enough to have to sweat it, you prolly going a lot faster than you’d want to be counting dots on the road n doing algebra...

    Theres some math you can do to figure it out based on tire diameter, gear ratio in the trans and final drive ratio. Not that I particularly want to take on fomiguring it out. Lest your curious and know those numbers off the top of your head.

    No shame in my game. I'm a big guy that sweats alot. Shorts, t shirt, and shoes it's about the most you'll get me to wear on a van job. Flat bed I'd throw on a pair of jeans and boots when I'd load or unload because usually it was required.

    I'd say no but then again if you ever see me wearing shorts it's because I've had my britches stolen again. I'm one of those that says shorts only belong on women and children.
