O, well my trucker friend hates that road. Last time I was there I was with my oldest boy in his WRX-STI and up pulled a new 500hp Vette next to us. My boy backed off at 120mph and all I saw was the taillights of the Vette as they got small real fast. I was never thrilled by speed, maybe that explains why I have had non turbo Mercedes. I kind of miss my 190D but couldnt take care of it proper anymore so I guess it's all good. Max
