Random thoughts on your new thread Lynn.

It was good to finally meet you, albeit a brief conversation.

Yes, the cars and the people and their stories are great!

That whole camping out in the left lane thing,,,it started in Minnesota, but has now spread throughout the country. I could tell stories.. I can't drive the limit either.

Yes on the heavy Trooper presence in Illinois, but they've never bothered me either. Again, I could tell stories...

Every time I saw Charlie he was on a scooter, don't let him fool you.

Take care Lynn, good to meet you!

Hey, hey, it was never like that until people started moving to MN from IA and MO..

When the price of gas went back up over $3/gallon 3 years ago, I started learning how to drive about 5 mph over, max. I like to see how far I can get on a tank now. My recent purchase of a 2015 Highlander is rated at 22 mpg by the epa. I left home at 11 pm Wednesday, so very little traffic and I kept the speed at 65 mph on the freeway and got 26 mpg all the way to Beloit WI.

MN has a move over law too, but they also have a hands free cell phone law. Neither are enforced, nor are speed limits for the most part. Seems the state could save millions of tax payer dollars if they didn't have signs made and posted for laws they aren't going to enforce...

Haha..but Minnesnowtens have perfected it Mitch. Here are two left lane loafers, under the limit, on NB MN I-35 earlier today.

Hope you get past the China virus soon Mitch! I agree with Charlie on the Paxlovid, snapped me out of it in a couple days.

Gotta be recent transplants, NO one in the greater metro area drives less than 10 over.
