Well actually its not Evil Trav with the lead foot it's one of our other engineers. He has been known to hit 95 while the other engineers try to keep up. We slowed him down for IRI.

When in Rome....

One of our OTHER mentors, who shall remain nameless, did take some rather.....rapid......liberties with the V8 Envoy while hauling the team trailer to NJ. I guess he couldn't wait to get there and see all the beautiful concrete*.....

*I'm just kidding. There was lots of asphalt and blacktop too**.

Yes, on the way home from IRI, I hooked up with Tony Stewart who was out crusing on I-70 E at about 135, and we sent two of the other mentors into the wall somewhere in the vicinity of Columbus. I picked up the draft from Tony on I-71 N and never looked back.

Oh, and didn't I tell you I own stock in Levi Strauss?

well at least the rookies on the team since they are not use to the engineers driving habits.
I believe we were going along with the flow of traffic at a leisurely 75 most of the way to and from Indiana, SIR. Stop rear seat driving!

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2

An interesting note is that the German Autobahn is statistically much safer than US highways. There are far fewer crashes. However, when a crash does occur, I bet it is pretty bad.

The difference is that their cars don't have cupholders and people don't grab a big mac before happing on the autobahn. They don't talk on the phone while driving either. And a lot of their cars are all quite high performance models. Also, you must drive in the right lane, and pass on the left, and can be heavily fined for not doing so, or for driving too slowly. In Germany, driving is a skillful art, in the US, it is a passive annoyance.
