Must be those guys from Idaho, they can't stand to be behind anyone when they are in Washington or Oregon. Both the WA and Or state patrol could fill their ticket books pulling over Toyota 4x4 pckups running 80+ if they were out there to catch them.

I just did a loop in Wa and Oregon that was about 800 miles in six days. Toppenish to Poulsbo, Poulsbo to PT, Forks Pacific beach, Long beach, Astoria, Portland, Hood river, Goldendale and back to Toppenish.
Got pelted with rocks 15 miles from home following a follow me truck on fresh gravel by a Suv that decided 35 miles on gravel that had been laid an hour before was too slow for him. Around the Olympic Peninsula it was crew cab 4x4's towing fully decked out aluminum fishing boats would pass me at speeds far above the speed limit.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
