Default Re: pondering my personal speed limit

I used to be a horribly aggressive Left lane speeder until I bought my HCH.

My, how things can change.
Now I enjoy the ride with its relaxing "Quiet time".
I know many here like audio books, which I have yet to try but instead have been listening to 1930's - 40's Radio broadcact recordings.

Lately it's "The Shadow of Foo Man Choo"- Very addicting series.

Laurie- About country living-

We moved from a far Northern suburb of Atlanta to a much further one, everyone calls it the boon docks. My wife was a little hesitant at first to be far away from her neighbor friends and shopping malls.

At the time we bought a ~2,500sq ft new home on an acre of land for about $145K, while a comparable home went for about $230K on 1/2 acre in the city we had left.

A good family friend a year later bought a new home in a condo-like community, packed on 1/4 acre lots spaced 20 feet apart with 10 feet of yard for about $300K. While their house faceod looks a bit nicer than ours the home is smaller.
But then I guess people like different things.

We've been there for about 6 years and wouldn't have it any other way.
In fact my wife suggests moving further out next time....but I'm not sure about that.

Nice thread by the way.
