SUVs be damned!! I consider one of my most daring feats to be passing
an 18 wheeler in my MGA on a 2 lane highway in an downpour. Like going
through a car wash. The little engine is screaming, the top is
flapping, the whole car shakes. You catch a glimpse of those wheels
huge wheels through the gray in the passenger window. Gradually, your
windshield lightens up and the wipers actually start to do some good.
Finally the road clears and you see this smoking mountain in the rear
view mirror. I don't think I ever did it at night. Now passing a truck
in my GN is a hoot. Slam - (light show with tach & boost gauge) bam -
see ya pal.

ralph,
I dunno! I hear that wives in big Buicks are far more destructive to
LBCs. Now that it's been awhile, I'm sure that we can laugh about it! You
are laughing aren't you ralph? Tell you what, we''meet at the American Tap
and reminisce the burning of Old Main.
