Hmmmm.... Posted by vtsnaab [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: DO NOT drive slower!!, jeremiah, Fri, 2 Nov 2007 18:40:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This last bit makes me wonder....
Anyone who has ever owned an Aero understands completely that to have
a car like that and not to feel how good it is at higher speeds would
be like having perfectly good legs but using a wheelchair by choice
instead of those legs.
I once had an instrument illumination problem in my former Aero and
had to go someplace an hour away anyhow - so I used a flashlight to
check my speed now and then - no problem really.
Soon I found I was going too fast, and just happened to rest my hand
idly on the shifter - and realized I was on the interstate in 4th and
the car was sooo smooth that it felt just fine anyhow. Embarassing,
but no harm done - that car was like driving on clouds !
(And JH, lest you say I lost it to the demon of speed - it was when
I was going 35/40 MPH on a 50 MPH road, avoiding 2 moose that I lost
it by hitting some wet pavement and sliding off the road.)
Sometimes it strikes me oddly that there are actually folks who feel
that everyone should be equally handicapped to the level of the very
slowest/least able for some mysterious reason I'll never understand ???
Best Wishes.
