___Funniest post I have read all day

___CBX6TC6, nice overall results and I am glad you kept them up to date.

___And my dig … When it comes to a 73 mph average, do you really maintain a 73 mph average here in Northern IL. or do you travel at ~ that speed when you are out on the highway only? I am picturing you trying to come to a stop at 73 mph while driving into your garage. It might actually be a life changing experience on your part If you ever see my Accord out on the highway, I might be passing a gesture of my own your way for you to get out of my way? If not, I might be parked on your rear bumper tight enough to scare the living XXXX out of you until you move out of the way so I can pick a much nicer draft further up the road … Or you might blow by me while I am cresting my steepest crest at 46 mph over the DesPlaines river … Or you might catch me with ICE off at 60 mph coming into a traffic tie up ¾ of a mile ahead just after Lake Cook Road … Or you might … Not everyone drives 55 mph in the far right lanes but some of us pick and choose what technique works best to maximize a given automobiles strengths and to minimize its weaknesses through a particular traffic situation or road condition … I tend to think of these situations and conditions more like opportunities nowadays

___Good Luck
