I also see at least 1 disabled vehicle or accident every day. Friday going home there was a tractor trailer on its side (failed to negotiate the turn onto a ramp) and someone disabled in the middle lane (rear ended the car ahead so hard that the radiator was leaking everywhere).

I like my job, and utterly hate the commute.

So that's what the 55 MPH signs with the orange diamonds on them mean... :icon14:

I set the cruise on the rental car at 55, and damn near got run over by tractor-trailers....:eek:

I bumped it to 65 and called it good... :driving::driving:

I figured that if I got stopped, I could use the excuse that a)I was from out of state, b) more people passed me than I passed or c) I'm a retired Marine :tup:

You'd be amazed at the number of times c) has got me out of tickets... :driving::driving:

There might be another Group Buy for the SuckerPunch oil pump gears :D

Don't forget the billet backing plate.

Success, full tank of E85 gain. 1000 gallons in the tank. Yes, I go in and ask them how much they have, LMAO. I should be good until Thursday/Friday time frame. More Giggles per gallon on the way.

Depending on the road, the cops are more or less vigilant. I've driven by on 95 doing 80 mph in a 55 zone and haven't been pulled over for it. Then again, it was rush hour, and EVERYONE was doing 80 right up until the inevitable slowdown by the airport (every.single.day.)

The billet housing is the main reason I want the SP gears. I would have already purchased the Boundary Engineering gears otherwise.

A little football in the office makes the time go by a bit better.

Actually the fact that they run out and deplete their supply is a good thing as it ensures you are not getting much moisture in your fuel. The longer it sits in those tanks the more likely hood of water due to the condensation factor as alcohol attracts water.

The distributer won't bring them any E85 unless they have 0 gallons in the tank. 5 gallons, not sending the truck. I always get fresh E85.
