yeah, well, you'll get that once in a while...

biggish snippage, many things left unsaid due to irrelevancy to most of
audience, WOB, desire for someone to come swap a halfshaft fro me so I
don't have to get sweaty and greasy, etc....

That was what was on mymind when I made my suggestion.  Your car's
capabilities actually make it perfect for the style fo driving I
recommended, since you *can* immediately regain the speed lost by
minimizing the differential as you went past someone.  Which sounds like
more fun, in a way...

What was that about old farts, btw?  hehe  My hope is become an even
older fart... and the road is a place I'd hate to have that opportunity
taken away.
