The problem today is not enough police on the road to remind people their DL is a privilege not a right, to many people think they have a right to be behind the wheel! What gets me is so many Municipalitys are crying poverty if they would start writing tickets and locking people up for being stupid (like they used to 40 years ago) they would have tons of cash! I remember you got pulled over for your girlfriend having her arm around you while driving! Now we have all these morons with cellphones chatting on FB while driving I think that should be the same as a DUIF (Driving Under the Infulance of Facebook)

Most of the times I get passed like that it's a 40+ ft toy hauler behind a SRW truck.

Interesting how everyone seems to think that “tow rating” means “how much horsepower/torque does it take to pull x lbs.? That is only half of the equation, the most important considerations are....1. Can I control it rolling down the highway and 2. Can I stop it safely!

You're not supposed to be going that fast in the pp's. Most of the ones we've been in are potholey with narrow roads. But I do love our pp's. Algonquin always to end the season.
