    One guess where I am.

    NOW, it's a turbo actuator. A new one didn't come with the new turbo.

    (Insert theme from Benny Hill, Yackity Sax, here)

    Saw the same thing just east of Tucson "headed west" 4 wheeler going near 80 mph in the left lane "as was I" He gets a call or something picks up his phone and proceeds to slow to near 60 traffic is stacking up behind me and begins passing me on my right (they probably thought I was holding things up,) Finally I Cut off a 4 wheeler (ehr uhm merged into the right lane) and got back on the hammer, as I passed the clown he was talking as if he had forgotten he was on an interstate highway. Sure enough as soon as I got my momentum back and was cruising nicely again "here he comes w/o the cell phone on his ear" just like he was shot out of a cannon

    This applies to truckers as well. Line of trucks in the right lane climbing a on I-80, a loaded dump trailer two trucks ahead pulls into the left lane, as does the truck behind him (I'm behind them both). He bogs down, but fails to return to the right lane. After about a mile, the truck behind him passes on the right. I've got plenty of torque available in 9th, so I do the same since he's not showing any signs of wanting to move out of the hammer lane. When I get even with his window, I look over and he's ratchet-jawing (complete with chicken-necking and hand gestures) into his blue parrot. And yeah, after he finished his call, he passed all of us on the down grade, probably 90mph.

    Anyway, I'm at the T/A off I-84E in CT. GPS says it's 'Ruggles Row', or Plantsville, or something like that...
