I didnt mention the guy was nice enough to meet me some 40 miles from his house which saved me 80 miles .I was filling up the tank when he drove up at the station,10 minutes later I was heading southbound with the hammer down .I kept up lets say.
The trip back did include a funny state trooper speed trap story.
The 65 mph to 75 posted speed limit from Dallas to Houston doesnt take place til 70 miles south of Dallas ,some people forget this and hit the peddle a little north of 80 ,Im sitting at 70 and an Suv is hooked at my bumper while waiting to fade over to the fastlane .I spot a statey waiting on the overpass ,as we go under he lights up the christmas tree and zips up to the suv who has slowed down back behind me as if to confuse the officer ,yeah right ,a following to close citiation was part of the ticket package I hope, another bumper licker bites the dust.
