Yeah here in the Buckeye its still "55 stay alive"!
BTW when you go thru the Wheeling tunnel stay in the left lane, the right lane exits as you leave the tunnel.

i'm sitting here at the radisson in phoenix enjoying the highlife!

and i gotta say, you guys are good! :thumbsup:

i took all your advice and had no problem at all, i especially appreciated that reminder of doing the slower speed limit on that long ramp in indy. it was deceiving, but hitting it at 45 insteaed of 60 saved my sorry ass.

i did get stopped in texas. once the trooper checked me out and i passed, he told me that drug runners use rentals to smuggle. don't know if it's true or not, but i wasn't going to argue.

and because of all my reading here, i knew to pull up once i fueled to go into pay so i wouldn't hold up anyone else.

now if you had just told me that to pump on the passenger side i had to start the pump on the driver's side it would have made my life easier.
but i'll let you slide on that.

thanks guys!! :bow:

Considering we're "TRUCK DRIVERS", it would have been best to talk to one of the folks that fuel up their MOTOR-HOMES about that.....:lol:

oh windy, i felt so....so....so inadequate!

i didn't have my boots on, it was an automatic, and with only 6 tires it felt pathetic.
the ultimate insult was the bench seat.
