about 900 miles from Houston to Roswell. Made the trip out here fine. On the way home for spring break, fuel pump decided it wanted to quit. The last 200 miles were made on a U-Haul tow dolly. Never been so pissed in my life.

no they wont, especially in nebraska. because then they just radio to the plane... "clock em at mile marker etc..." or they radio to the next cop to pull you over. then 5 minutes later the original cop shows up and shows you his radar. i got hit like that in Iowa once... one cop pulled me over, then the one i saw a couple hills back came rolling up.... (i was only doing 15 over though) never 140. rs. off at 110 - no motivation to go over than anymore...

I took my Iroc, not driven in the winter, down to Florida 2 years ago. I checked all the fluids, sensors, etc. before I took the trip. Everything checked out fine and I had no problems once I hit the road. Enjoy the ride!!
