Hey Steve,

That was one of the best VX narratives I've every read! I too have visited many of the places you did in your travels, and share your opinions on most of them.

Kentucky in particular is really a beautiful, little noticed state. I grew up between Nashville and Bowling Green (Clarksville, actually, right on the TN-KY border) so those were my old stomping grounds (raised a lot of hell on those backroads in my 69 SS Nova!).

I also managed to get a ticket in south GA (outside of Adel), doing 87 in a 65 last weekend travelling from JoeBlack's VX/Rallycross meet in Ft Meade, FL). $175 ouch bucks (speed trap - they had lazer radar pointed right where the speed limit changes from 70 to 65 MPH).

BTW, in Georgia you can pass either to the left of right provided the insterstate has more than 2 lanes. I wish I knew you were coming through Atlanta - could have arranged for a more pleasant experience with some fellow VX owners.

Good Luck with your VX and welcome to the family. And don't worry, your GF's annoyance will become reluctant acceptance!

-- Best, John
