While we're Hey Johnnying it....

can you make a PSA telling people that they can drive faster than 40 mph on the Moscow/Pullman highway when there's wind?

i fear people have forgotten what it's like to go the speed limit now that the roads are (relatively) clear.

Thanks for the heads up...but I have a little fear of buying used bikes from the valley. Some base-head will probably pick it up before I have a chance to look at it, but we'll see.

As for the MP highway, if you're headed west in a car that is even slightly non-aerodynamic (like my old pickup) it's hard to keep going 65 with 40MPH gusts the other direction. Even so, perhaps you should de-sand yo' vag and use the other lane to pass them? Duh.

the other lane is where all the sand is so it wouldn't stay clean.

Plummy · 02-07-2008, 05:21 PM

both lanes were blocked by people going said 40 mph

typical seattle fashion so i shouldn't be surprised...still pisses me off

Sorry to say, but if some douche comes up on my ass doing well over the limit and I'm next to someone doing the limit I will tend to hold my speed and play the blocking game. I've seen too many people die on that road, and just because its wider now doesn't make it any more safe in this weather.

Not to mention there is a busy light on either end of the road, so any time you make up going 10 over on the highway is going to get eaten up while you wait for Wal-mart to unload the parking lot or Bishop Blvd to disgorge the cars coming from the southside.

Some people are hell-bent on f'ing up their life though...

Dood...55 mph zone. The WA side. Not the Moscow side. I'm use to retards going 35 mph along the Moscow side.
