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

 JM> When I was in NYS between NYC and Syracuse I had two or three

 JM> 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

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

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

 JM> Like the old tag line: I'm not a fast driver, I'm not a slow driver.
 JM> 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".....  ;)
