Yes, and I have verified that. I plan on making sure it is not slowing down
with age (rolled 100k a week ago) when I go to Montana for Memorial Day
weekend (May23-25 for non USA listers). Hopefully, the REOs will not be out
in force in the area I will be in. Hiway 200 just east of the continental
divide is mucho fun even though it is about 4000+ ft elevation. Contrary to
popular belief, there is a speed limit. Reasonable and Prudent - anything
over 100 and they'll write you for reckless driving. And they really don't
appreciate out-of-staters driving like maniacs over there. I heard about a
Stealth that got nailed for 137 and an MB that was over 150 - didnot hear
the amount of the fines. Took the officer about 20 miles to catch the
stealth (wonder if he even knew he was being chased) cuz he had to turn
around. Those cheby's do go good :-)
