    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.

    The important part isn't so much how fast as that you aren't the slowest
    thing on the road... <G>

    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.

    Some old men drive like old women, too... ;) Guess those were "your
    Grampa's Buick" (or whatever brand it was that claimed it was all modern now).... ;)

    Once out of MYS/PA Buick drivers were more normal and no problems.

    Just a coincidence, no doubt.... :)

    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. :)

    Or like the old joke...? "She's pretty", "She's ugly", "You're both
    right, she's pretty ugly"..... ;)

    ... Better than the Other Leading National Brand...
