    I don't mind being precision like a showboat or a trained chimpanzee performing for the dear Masters on their Coop Property. If they want 30 mph, 100 feet, wheels down and all the hairs in place... sure thing. Green light please I have no time in the appt delivery to fool with DOT today.

    In years past they had the old platforms everywhere. I remember one time I thumped onto a platform near the Yorktown road with a sea container and bearings. They just waved me through. #### thing was 40 feet and roughly 110,000 there is no point in bothering with it in that rain. And they wont neither. Those platforms are paved over and turned into a nice forested rest area. A quiet one too.

    Yes it would have. 65 mph is still too fast to go down that grade

    65 mph limiters.....it dont bother me any. I go 62 so yall still can pass me. Some days you may not even average that depending on other factors

    It's going to be on the range of 5's if I can get that in that rear set back there with enough gears to maintain 70 speed limit upgrade with a overdrive add on box downstream from the main transmission when necessary.

    Set your cruise at 64/64 mph after trucks block the left lane for miles citizens will be screaming like in Ontario Canada .. PS tailgating and rear end crashes will go up not down

    We have just the tool to fix that... another law. :rolleyes:

    Pass a law that says “no trucks in the left lane anywhere”.

    Now people will have nothing left to blame but Subarus and hybrid cars.

    Totally off topic, but about speed regulation.
    Why is it that the maximum speed limit in the US is 85 MPH, yet you can buy a stock, off the showroom floor car that can do 185 MPH?

    Well, I don't think you're going to hydroplane all the way there off 185, we're gonna need more horsepower.
