OK Van Oss.....

Take THAT!!!  I _DO_ know what I'm talking about!!

now...back to the rest of you....

Hmmmmm.........  75 mph on a cloverleaf.....I don't know if the radii of those
curves are the same as my S turn interchange, but that speaks pretty well for the
tire.  I always considered the car (even back in the Boss days) in pretty good tune,
handling wise, if I could take the turn at twice the advised speed.

Our freeways are getting a bit beaten up, what with all that gas tax money going to
buy electricity, but at least there are a FEW places where I can still have fun.

Looking forward to Tuesday!!
