Yeah i know what ye mean..... And laws and customs vary too. Seems specially weird to hear folks whine about "callin the law" to stop this perfectly legal road trip from happening.

Here in midwest there's nothin unusual about seein sloow moving vehicles even overloaded unregistered farm trucks'n trailers with nobody battin an eye. And if somebody's hobblin the slow lane in crippled car with flashers on - then nobody gets bent outa shape and those with cb radio will offer whatever assistance might be needed. Y'all be pressed to find anybody here in midwest haint been in similar situation themself.

Does anybody doubt this old Benz will make it?? Oughta be no prob gittin from point to point over 8-10 hr drive. Just keep an ear on left rear axle says me. And even then axles die verrry sloooow over several hundred miles.
