I wonder if I'll see that guy around. Denton is just 30 minutes north of where I'm at.

Gun it and run it!

Roll Me Over

Good thing my Dad isn't your Dad he would kick your arse for drafting a big rig. he caught me doing it one time and whipped my but,took my car away for a week,and dared me to do it again. His reasoning was if you cant see their mirrors they can't

>>>*Dang wireless.. Fighting computors since Friday, now I have my laptop on dialup.

*..Where was I?

Oh. Well, having run within inches of a car ahead of me at close to 180 MPH I really don't get nervous running tight.

But I don't snug up on the highway, I just like to slip into the pocket. Two big trucks running 60 in tandem and I can hook on 100 feet or more back and save a MPG or two.

Besides, I can stop in 25% of the distance it takes for a big rig to stop.

You could be right on the airflow, the vette gets right down to the ground so air goes over the car from under the truck and that stream is pretty turbulent. I know I can sure feel it, it just won't smooth out and draft a truck.

She does better by herself or in a line of other Vettes....*EB

*Beats the he** outa me!....*LOL**...
