    Don't bother passing going down Grapevine, but if you do decide to pass cause 35 is just too slow, ffs make the pass (Swift). Don't hang out in that middle lane doing 36 trying to make up your mind. With some guy in a dually towing a boat flying down and having to hit the brakes, HARD, cause you are out where you shouldn't be.

    Yes it happened, just two days ago. Swore there was gonna be an accident.

    So Grapevine, 35mph, be safe.

    Yes, absolutely not. The transmission will NOT appreciate that.

    Its called good manners if you've noticed that's why when people are merging onto the freeway, traffic will veer left simply to allow smooth flow of traffic, others want to just make it difficult for others. Any wonder the trucking industry is taking a dive.
