    I actually recognized one of those silver flats on US 35 in WV where it's two lane. I waved and he waved and kind of looked like "oh you recognized me". The obvious part is the placement of the strobes. I haven't seen another truck with the strobes mounted the way they are.

    Heard a local on the cb saying how
    Good the stretch is now and how they used to lose mirrors on it all the time.

    Well, there still is that 10 mile part where one set of wheels is basically on gravel and the mirrors are barely missing each other.

    most of 35 is awesome...just that 10 mile part...man that sucks...I always seem to hit it at night too...which is worse cause there are people that don't know where the dimmer switch is located on their car...

    My not liking it is mainly due to the fact that a mistake from any other driver 4 wheels or 18 can really be costly. With that stretch always so high traffic. Heck some of them trucks don't know how to dim em either.
