    But I took it in today and had it governed down to 80mph so I wouldn’t go over and get my lease cancelled.
    Now I’m like one of those slow ### Swift trucks......... kinda.
    Good move or no?

    I just don't get why you drivers let people walk all over you like that. C'mon, 99?? Do you even WANT to make your appointment on time? I doubt it. 20180409_194810.jpg
