The other thing is, between my place and Baltimore there are the very old rural 2 lanes* running parallel on either side. I mean 45-50 (or less) stuff. I won't always live hear, but where I live I'm fine with what I have. Before I ever owned my '92, all my 8-luggers were 4.10. The '92 had 4.10s, too, w/NV4500! And that was like driving a car. Actually, my daily driver '95 Suburban has 4.10a with O/D. Boy, I really am a 4.10 man 
* One is the actual "National Road" from George Washington time and the other is probably just as old and that's "Frederick Rd". I'm a in between Baltimore and Frederick. |
I used to like to drive route 9 between Leesburg and Charlestown or 9 to 671 to 340 to get to Neersville and HarpersFerry. When we lived in Neersville that was about the only way to get anywhere east... that used to be a nice drive in the old 4 speed trucks. Holy crap, the asshats we’re running me over at 60 when I went home a month or so ago. I cant hardly that drive any more. It’s all grown up so much. A lot has changed in 5 years, (really the last 25 or 30) every year when I go back I recognize it all a little less.
