    Averaging 66 MPH ???  I did not go read the article, but you have to be really hauling it to make that kind of average speed.  He must have had a funnel and hose onboard...

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Well ya should read it Steve, it's a good story!

    Here's the spoiler:

    "That put us Charlotte to Dallas in just under 16 hours. Figuring we probably spent an hour for fill-ups, food breaks, and a cool conversation in Vicksburg with the F150 driver, we averaged 70+mph on the road and 66mph overall."
