Chlorine in the avian gene pool
I never understood what was the deal with birds trying to be daredevils in traffic. Everyday it happens. Some bird-brained bird will shoot over my hood.
Well, today I didn't have much of a hood because I was driving one of these. Some kind of yellow bird goes "thud" on the windsheild at 60mph. Dumb animal. A seagull went for it as well a little down the ways but when it realized I was much bigger than he, it turned around. Smart animal. So far that puts the score at birds - 0 me - 2 :| --- If anyone knows how to override the speed limiter on my truck that would be mucho useful to me. ;D Yesterday I could not stop bouncing of the thing (75mph). If it were raised to 80 that would be fantastic.

-roads +highway.
Like it or not most linehaulers pull 80-85 whenever conditions let them. Alaskan ones, anyhow. Loooots of space to cover in little time. Me, I was just trying to keep up with traffic. This truck is very stable at highway speeds and feels really at place doing about 75. It pulls the same rpms/mph as the SVX (up until 4500). It was kinda frusterating coasting downhill, hitting 75, then having the fuel shut off and bring me back down to 70.
