Overheard at Marauderville X (MV10)

[Bluerauder]

1. On the way to South Haven, MI for MV10 on the Ohio Turnpike I-80, my wife comments to me that she wasn't aware that there was "a special speed limit for Mini-Vans" on the turnpike. I asked where she saw that? She said it was on a sign on the side of the road. We waited about 2-3 minutes and she indicated that the sign was coming up again ....

It said .....

SPEED LIMIT 70
TRUCKS 60
MINIMUM 45 (not Mini-Vans)

2. On the convoy to Roscoe's Cruise, I had "1 Bad Merc" to my rear. A couple interlopers dropped into line and we started to lose ground to the MMs ahead. In order to catch up, I slid into the left lane and started to accelerate rather briskly until 1 Bad Merc was just a dot in the rearview mirror. I just tickled the underside of 100 MPH as a pulled right and caught up to the convoy. The wife was not impressed.

After we pulled into Roscoe's Cruise, 1 Bad Merc came over to me and asked "What do you have in that thing? ... you were moving out pretty good". I replied that I have a Tune and 3.55 gears. I think he was surprised that I wasn't hiding a supercharger in there somewhere. The Bluerauder does pull very well.
