    That's still pretty typical.... did you pass anyone...?

    I passed a few people, not at 75 mph through. It was more along 50 something.
    When I was in NYS between NYC and Syracuse I had two or three "grannies"
    in Buick's that were going something like 23-30 in a 50 mph zone.
    It got to whenever I saw a gray/silver Park Ave (or whatever its
    currently called) I just knew there would be a blue haired lady behind the wheel.
    :)
    I was surprised one time when it was an old man.
    Once out of MYS/PA Buick drivers were more normal and no problems.

    generally my guage for what's a good speed... not the fastest on the
    road, but not the slowest one either... :)

    Like the old tag line: I'm not a fast driver, I'm not a slow driver. I'm more of a half fast driver. :)

    Joe,

    Like the old tag line: I'm not a fast driver, I'm not a slow driver. I'm
    more of a half fast driver. :)

    Which half?? <g,d,r>
