[pothole]

I read ya. Believe it or not, I bought my Box because I needed to slow down (my previous track-prepped Beemer was getting me into trouble with the fuzz). It works, kinda - mainly due to fear of mechanical failure, spend ages warming it up etc! Still struggling to get much more than 22 British MPG which must be sub-20MPG US-style.

I guess one man's taking it easy is another's pressing on. Still, would love to do a really long drive in the Box. Slight problem in the UK is gas prices - we're paying over $7 per US gallon at the moment...not terribly compatible with my pitiful freelance journo wages!
