The important part isn't so much how fast as that you aren't the slowest
thing on the road... <G>

 JM> When I was in NYS between NYC and Syracuse I had two or three

 JM> I was surprised one time when it was an old man. 

Some old men drive like old women, too...   Guess those were "your
Grampa's Buick" (or whatever brand it was that claimed it was all modern
now).... 

 JM> Once out of MYS/PA Buick drivers were more normal and no problems. 

Just a coincidence, no doubt....

 JM> Like the old tag line: I'm not a fast driver, I'm not a slow driver.
 JM> I'm more of a half fast driver.  

Or like the old joke...?  "She's pretty", "She's ugly", "You're both
right, she's pretty ugly".....
