60 MPH on the highway ain't crusing - it's impeding traffic. Just sayin'

I like your style, but in this neck of the woods it can land you on the wrong side of the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Example: I was coming back from the drags at Topeka a couple of years ago on a 4 lane divided and running 70 with the cruise on. A MHP trooper stopped me about 40 miles or so out of Springfield and informed me that the speed limit had been 60 for the last 50 or 60 miles and I was traveling in the passing lane when I should have been in the driving lane as he put it. Fortunately for me he got a call the he deemed more important than writing me a ticket so he let me off with a warning.
I had thought about asking him why the so called passing lane wasn't labeled as such if he wrote me a ticket. Only azzhole highway patrolman I've ever encountered.

I agree on impeding the traffic. Although I live in the North Country. We don't have an "Expressway" within 100 miles of my home. 99% of the cruising will be taking the wife to Dairy Queen for a ride. Mostly in town driving for me. Anyways time will tell. If the gears are too bad we can swap them out for something different. Always need spare parts anyways.
