Mr Loden you had no business on the wrong side of the road doing 90 mph because you were uncomfortable I the right lane, an aquaintance [sic] did the same thing, the lead car was slowing to turn left, she did and got broadsided and almost died, :]

Tidahoe, I assure you that I agree with you about driving 90mph, on either side of the road. The only reason I was going that fast was that a person pulled onto the highway in front of me and the only way out was to accelerate and get in front of that truck. That was the one and only time I have ever passed a vehicle on a two lane highway while towing our AS, and well may be the last.

My normal behavior when I get a flock of cars behind me when towing is to find a place where I can pull off the road and let them by. Unfortunately, sometimes, there are roads where there are no places to do that for a long, long, way.

The message was that knowing that the tires on the AS are capable of far more than I would have expected to ever have put them through was a good thing.
