Well I live in Orlando and resemble that remark. Could be that they grew up 
in a day when speeding led to tickets and points and increased insurance 
rates. Could also be that they bought that Vette when it and they were new. 
Could be just that they are in no hurry (too many times have been in the 
position of having to be 1,000 miles away the next day). "Doing very lttle, 
slowly" is a luxury I hope to have someday. Probably get bored sick in a 
week but would like the opportunity to find out.

Whatever the reason, it is a lot easier now with four and six lanes than it 
was and you *needed* 400 cid just for passing on a two lane blacktop. Good 
thing since I an contemplating a MotorHome with a 115 hp diesel. You want 
slow ?
