koolmini, I think you will be a caravan of one because nobody in their right mind would even consider trying to keep up with you on the highway!

Having grown up there I have to correct your spelling and pronunciation of the town. Its Maryville and all the locals say it "Mur-ville". Just thought I would assist in helping you fit in with the locals

Well, we see you don't suffer from the wash it and admire it thing that Ryan goes through -- else you'd never get to leave "Mur-Ville"

Some of you may have noticed that koolmini drives with his visors down. It's not because of the glare or to hide his face from photo-radar, but it is because he enjoys looking at himself in the vanity mirror!
