What kind of fuel consumption do you have at 70?


I notice our wave warriors are running al a more modest speed these
days


I thought they would be, too, but the last few times out, I heard and
then saw a few twin or trip V8 penis boats roaring by at the usual
insane speeds. If they are close enough for the occupants to see us, we
always give them the friendly single-finger salute they deserve for
disturbing the peace.


I don't have that visceral a reaction to anyone who is operating in a
safe manner. Everyone has the right to waste money any way they want.- Hide quoted text -

You have to remember how fat, old nail biting grumpy men operate. It's
the same as on the highway. They'll get in the fast lane, go 50mph and
complain that someone's on their tail. Then get in the slow lane and
complain that someone is doing the speed limit. In other words,
everybody else's driving is atrocious but their own.
