Its a long way anywhere, here. The local council have countered by lowering all speed limits so it takes me many kilometres before I can get to a good 100 zone. jeanies last blog post..Oh three oh six ay em

Oh, now you're hitting this desert green gal right where she lives! Slowing down is probably the most difficult earth friendly thing for me to do, for many of the same reasons you mention! I need a Harley; that's all there is to it! Bwahahahaaa... Thornes last blog post..Oh To Be The Fool

Most of our speed limits on the highways near CHicago are 55, but there's so much traffic, you're lucky if you can get to 20 at certain times of the day. I'm not much of a speeder (I'm not even sure my Kia minivan was designed to do 55!), but I'm not that much of a highway driver, either. Most of my driving involves spending 45 minutes in traffic to go like 4 miles. LOL Maybe I'll loan you my Fergalicious shoes that I wore on my birthday!!! The heel really keeps you from laying on the gas! LOL Jessica The Rock Chicks last blog post..It’s A Jungle Out There!

I was told by many I have a lead foot…slowing down is the hardest thing for me, too!

I do feel your pain. My first husband called me "Leadfoot Louise." And, you cannot (I repeat CANNOT) slowly accelerate while merging onto a freeway. It's kill the gas pedal or be killed in the process... especially in California. Carol G.s last blog post..Only the GOOD Friday #6 ~ catalogues

Yeah, those long distances in Texas suck. And when you get stuck on NE Loop 820 on Ft. Worth or the mixmaster in Dallas, it's especially hard /not/ to wanna let her run wide open once you get past those trouble spots. And I swear sometimes on my way home from work, the speedometer shows I'm going 55, but it seems like I could walk on ahead a bit and the car would eventually catch up with me. Maybe that's why everybody ... and their dog ... passes me up. *lol* LuAnns last blog post..MONDAY – The Simple Woman’s Daybook #1
