I also watched my wife drive on the HWY and i followed her
in my bug, funny thing I felt the same along came a HUMMER
yes a HUMMER and they drove side by side and with our bus
setup it looked better then HUMMER I think, BTW with the
springs it was about the same height or maybe my eyes just
playing tricks on me, still the bus looked smoking, to bad
traffic has to drive so damn fast. still in 55 mode ;)
save gas save lifes ( what ever happened to that saying
anyway.. LOL

peace
Joe
