I have been driving more since the first week of May because my campus reopened for essential staff and I had to prep for my classes, but I'm still driving less than I would be normally because I am not running to the store every other day. My wife and I are having our groceries delivered or prepared for pickup once a week, something I should write about.<br /><br />I drove on the roads between Portland and the coast three years ago and didn't think they were that bad compared to the ones here. Maybe that's why I haven't seen many excessive speeders here in Metro Detroit — the roads.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-84709760665380804802020-06-28T09:55:04.846-04:002020-06-28T09:55:04.846-04:00Hey Eddie! ... wow, interesting, I myself have not...Hey Eddie! ... wow, interesting, I myself have not thought much about it, but was able to drive comfortably at about 90mph along LBJ Frwy here in Dallas, which is usually pretty full at times, due to the shutdown, which only lasted a few weeks, then once they opened back up, freewayz in Dallas filled up. But folks here in Dallas usually drive at over speed limits anywayz, when you can, of course ... large area, and you can't get around well driving at 55mph. I'm not one that drives over 100mph ... just rarely, if I'm in a car designed for it, and it's safe, like very late night/ wee morning hours, and not in the city ... in town I usually limit myself to about 90 tops, but usually do aroung 70 to 80 if/ when I canRanch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-2187620657531598992020-06-28T06:27:05.260-04:002020-06-28T06:27:05.260-04:00Can't say I'm surprised.

Now it's been three months since I last put gas in it and I've still got half a tank. Haven't seen much speeding, but I haven't been out of the city. With the condition our streets are in, I imagine 100 miles an hour would be pretty uncomfortable.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
