    Btw most trucks have a very similar ratio to first gear in reverse . So basically whatever speed you can go in high range in the first position reverse will do the same in high range.

    A .50 will punch through a cast iron block easily, damaging moving parts so they don't move anymore..

    This is similar to the type of bullet, in the same caliber, that sniper was shooting... This particular one was dug from over 8 inches inside a solid rock wall. I witnessed the shot personally, and I was the one that dug it out of the rock. That is my hand in the photo... One round in the block would Definetally cause an engine to go kaput!

    Strange thing on this. I thought you could inly have 1 I-275. Or are all bypasses named like that?

    That’s not the only highway like that.
    There are two I-190s(Illinois,Massachusetts)
    two I-88s(Illinois,New York)
    two I-76s(Ohio to Pennsylvania,Colorado to Nebraska)
    And two I-290s(Illinois,Massachusetts)
    Mind boggling it is...:)
