Tight corners = foot on deadpedal, left knee pressing on door OR right knee pressing on tanny tunnel

Don't know why, just feels good!

I'm really lazy, so I use my dead pedal all the time. And yes, I've even used my cruise control at 25 mph.

What does that have to do with the dead pedal? Nothing. But it does show how lazy I am.

to be honest, I did it because a cop was tailing my ace. But I am pretty anal about using it, lol.

Actually, I use it (the cruise control) for two reasons:

1. On a long trip, I've found that I arrive at my destination much more relaxed and refreshed than if I try to manually maintain speed for the whole distance. Until I got my first cruise control, I never realized how much mental energy I expended, just watching the darn speedometer. Which, but the way, is time I'm "not" looking at the road so I consider it a safety issue as well.

2. I can't hold speed to save my life after the first couple of hours. Gets back to that concentration thing. I've discovered myself doing anywhere between 45 and 90 mph in a 70 zone.

Drive Safe,
Steve R.
