So, who has off? It was a smooth trip to work today, didnt even pick up any slugs. Drove 65 the whole way in, windows down, Van Halen playing... It was a good morning, calm and relaxing.

me too!

by the way, how fast were you driving? People on here dont believe me when I say there are times you are doing 75-80 but it feels like 50.

in the HOV. There is a user here who thinks going 75-80 makes it necessary for me to be put on the DONT RIDE WITH list or something like that. He thinks I am hell on wheels, I tried politely telling him it is VERY possible, but he wouldnt listen. Maybe you can be more convincing.

I've been passed by more than one car while I was doing 80...something tells me you and I aren't the only ones to be concerned about

thank you !!! I was tempted to hook up the camcorder in my car and get footage of my commute but figured, its not worth all that trouble!

for those wondering, I have a camera mount in my car, I wouldnt be using my hands.

lets just say I have been stopped a few too many times in my sports cars by a cop saying I was doing 120 when I was doing 75. With a camera, he dont have a leg to stand on in court. :-) For some reason, cops in PW county HATE sports cars....
