    I don't care for them but I think we have a set and it saves 400 lbs. Not a big deal either way for me I guess.

    It was fast. I've only got about 10k on the wagon so I did most of it in 9th. Hit 8th only a couple times. One thing I do like about the auto is it will shift up and down in cruise and stay in cruise. But it's not good to do in the mountains cause it likes to jump back and forth between gears when climbing. It's nice for small hills but not mountains.

    I stopped in Morristown ohio for my 2 hour break to let the storms get a little further ahead of me which worked out well. I missed half dollar size hail in wheeling and missed a tornada near Frederick.

    Are you in Hagerstown md? I wish I'd had time to stop but I was lucky to get a spot. I got to the rest area around 7 due to traffic and the place is packed. Luckily there was a uhaul van in the truck parking and since I was in a pissed off mood and didn't mind visiting the local lock up I pulled in right behind him and was about to get out and tell him to move to the car parking. After all there's about 300 car spots and only about 20 truck spots. But luckily for both of us he got the hint and moved on his own.

    No we are here in Baltimore, Like I stated earlier, if nothing by 1pm Fri. we will probably head to Hagerstown..
    We were there last night. This morning we had rain for a bit then it cleared up.. Didn't know about the tornado....
