I guess I'm getting old because now I'd rather take it easy and enjoy the ride instead of see how fast I can get there!!
    Ive been missing the Evo more and more lately just because I cant move as fast as I used to. I hit 156 mph in the evo and it was exhilarating. I miss that but in order to afford all my toys now I needed something that could make money back from driving.

    Thanks. It takes a lot of work to get to those numbers and sometimes I say screw it and just want to get home, I drive 89 miles each way, so I average right around 42-44 if I gun it on the way home but most the time its my point of decompression so I try to cool it down. In the morning I always drive with technique though so it kinda makes up for my days where I just need to get home.
