Thanks Mr Nate. Appreciate your suggestion. Unfortunately, the quickest route home is all interstate with the posted speed being 70 mph for most of the drive. As I'm sure you know, any vehicle actually driving at the posted speed is rare and unusual. Lots of big trucks and semi's traveling this corridor, as well.

I have the option of using a state route, also. This will, of course, extend my travel time significantly. However, it's probably a lot safer all things considered. Also, I really don't have any reason to be in a hurry.

Gonna speak with the owner today. Will try and find out how much, if at all, they'd be willing to drop the price. Depending on that, this entire conversation may be moot.

Thanks again!
