Cruise Control Note

380 miles in 5 1/2 hours, with two quick pit stops.  One included gassing up and grabbing a burger to go.  Average speed over those 5 1/2 hours, 69.09 mph.  Cruise control set at 74.75 mph (or as close to that as I could approximate) in Ohio, and at 79.75 mph in Michigan.  Blew by four troopers total (couple in OH and MI) without adjusting speed.  Maybe half-dozen folks passed me the whole time I was on the road.  Could not keep track of the folks I passed.  Not bad, but I’ve made a bit better time in the past.

  1. Analog tach and speedometer in the Mini. Oh how I shall lament the day when I must succumb to digital displays in my car.

    Welcome home, Gramp.

  2. Erin, I’m with you on that analog tach and speedometer thing.  I also do not want a digital clock on my wrist.

  3. Haven’t worn a watch since the 80’s, and still drive my analog 1991 truck. It’s the idiots BS’ing in the left lane of the interstates that make me boil. That will cost you more than $1000 in fines and suspension of license on the autobahns of Germany. They take their driving seriously over there. Over here it is mostly a playground it seems with dead bodies all over the place.

  4. Don, those oblivious left lane drivers, tooling along at barely the posted speed, drive me crazy also.
