F56 on the Interstate

Spent an hour each way on Interstate 75 going to Punta Gorda today -- by far the longest drives in my MCS. Cruising much of the time between 80 & 90, I was very pleased with how stable the car was. Most of the time in Green, less twitchy I think, but switching into Sport leaving toll gates.

Was picked out of a pack of cars by Smokey, a red Escalade was one lane over and ahead of me, but a good driving record got me a warning. My sheriffs' association license plate frame probably didn't hurt. Will be more careful.



BTW, loved the way navigation showed up in the HUD -- first time I have used it was today.
