It's not 0-60 that will get you a ticket.
It's that 45-50 up to 95 when merging from that on ramp that will get you. It's just sooo easy to do. and I think it's faster than zero to sixty.
Ironically, I need to order some of those little magic clips. But I only need two.

 

3.4 to 60 is fast. I had a 700cc crotch rocket back in the day and that was only a second quicker to 60 than your MB.

 

Man I hate traveling. I really, really f***ing hate traveling.
I .must just be a delicate little flower. The disruption in normal routine simply ravages my digestive system.
Maybe it's airline food, maybe it's the lack of sleep, I'm not at the oh I'm dying but not a happy camper.
Gatorade and bananas for now.

 

My favorite motorcycle is the 1979 Honda CBX (1049CC in line six cylinder engine that produced 103 HP in a bike that weighed in at 506 pounds if I remember correctly). It could go from zero to sixty MPH in 2.3 seconds in first gear. At it's red line it would do 63 MPH in first gear.

One of my memories about riding this bike was on the Washington Capital Beltway in VA. I was cruising along at the just above the speed limit in the number two lane when a Porsche 911 came flying up in the number one lane and then matched my speed. I down shifted and as soon as the guy in the Porsche wanted to show off how fast his car was to his lady friend, I gassed it and he immediately got out of the throttle when he realized that he was no match for a motorcycle.

 

Matt, you'd like my Aprilia RAV4 1100.
It does have
Horsepower: 220 hp @ 13,100 Rpm
torque: 92.2 lb-ft (125 Nm) @ 10,800 rpm

0 to 60 mph: 2.8 – 3.2 seconds
0 to 100 mph: 5.7 seconds

You will have to shift to get to 100, 1st gear only goes to 93 mph at redline.
So even at extra legal speeds you have your selection of 6 gears.

 

Jerry, I am sorry that you are not feeling well. Are you still on Ozempic or whatever? Could that be part of the issue with your digestive system?

I hope things improve and that you can enjoy the rest of the trip.

 

I ran out of ozempic just before I left so it may be part of the story.
I'm sucking Gatorade and feeling better.
Next up bananas and oatmeal cookies.
Slowly rebooting.

The turo rental car had a snafu. They had us walking all over creation dragging luggage only to realize that the car was in the parking garage at the airport.
That little adventure didn't help the situation. I certainly got in my steps today.

 

I burst out laughing at this line.
You should thank the Good Lord you were not an international airline pilot!

 

I went to a goodwill drop off box this afternoon. There was a lady there with two huge tubs of clothes, all loose; nothing was bagged and she tossed handfuls after handful after handful into Dropbox. I'm sure whoever empties that will be thrilled.

 

Sad weekend for myself and family and friends of my Dad. My Dad hadn’t been eating much this week and long story short my sister took him to the hospital Wed.and it doesn’t look like he is going to make it. I got to talk to him yesterday and we said our goodbyes
