    I cannot.

    Medically I could as of today, but (Saw a doctor for unrelated issues, with a BP of 198/119, medicine today brought it down to roughly 155/90 it will take a few days to 3 weeks to fight the fluid imbalance in my system to get it normal) but in a few days I will be continuing pain management with the possibility of surgery to implant a pain pump for spine.

    There is no way for me.

    Some will get that 600, more power to them. It's not for me.

    Noriced when running 80 mph in Wyoming not many trucks passed us. Running over 70 mph was trying after 8-10 hrs. F that.

    What??? Ok so driving 65 is relaxing but 70 is exhausting?!?! Give me a break.... I think is much more relaxing not having to sit in traffic with three or four trucks that are governed and are trying to pass each other.

    Amen. While I drive an ungoverned truck, I normally set cruise control at 70 mph. It's the most relaxing speed to run if the speed limit is 70 mph or more. I can pass efficiently with a push on the throttle, without a multi mile pass. I go with the flow most of the time.
