history....
"ah... er... well, for now lets just say smaller vehicles that you don't prefer.".... we've always called them "over size go carts".
"Bah, humbug. 65-70 mph on a 4 lane hwy is pissing gasoline down the toilet."
Well, for two people one who grew up in the 60s with big block muscle cars and land yachts that would cruise at 110 all day long and not even breath hard (and the cops were cruising along right with you, it wasn't really considered speeding) and something actually happened when you stepped on it... its hard for us. When they mandated 55 in '78 or whenever it was... it almost killed me... took so long to get anywhere... and I got tickets for 62 mph. 62 mph on open interstate with no traffic is like going backward to me. When traveling... 200 miles is 3 hours, not four. My semi ran out at 75 against the governor and is where is was for three years and 600k, solo, long before CDLs. I was bored to tears almost when for a short time i got is a 58 mph truck, couldn't stand it... left that company. My wife had a 396 Chevelle that could lift the left front tire if it hooked up right... she had an adrenaline gland too. For years and years and engine wasn't really an engine if it wasn't two bank of four arranged in a V.
It will be a hard hard adjustment to get into over size go carts that cant really run. Oh, neat idea on the f150, but regenerative is not too effective in the country, but maybe on the hills and curves... I have one light and two stop signs for the 45 miles (25 on 4 lane, 20 on twisty two lane) to work.
