Ok, so - I drove from PHX to SJC in one shot. Almost died. was using my left foot for the gas after about 500 miles into it because my right foot was numb from holding the pedal down. Butt ached, back hurt...would have paid just about anything for cruise control!!

Hear that BIGJake111; cruise control can be pretty useful. Wow, Phoenix to San Jose; 700 miles! Thank God I have cruise control !! I once (when I was younger) did over 700 miles in a day on a motorcycle, and it wasn't a Gold Wing either. Don't think I'd survive doing that now!
Come to think of it, I drove my noisy diesel truck to Los Angeles (982 miles) in one day a couple of winters ago. I could barely move when I got there, and I was vibrating.

Umm, that was Dlirium, not BigJake. If he had an id pic as his avatar, he might be flattered that you thought he was 17, but....

Just saying.

Uh, no, I searched and found it. It was definitely BJ, "What option would you not skimp out on?" thread :


"As for cruise control as an option, I have never used it and have never seen anyone else use it. Maybe it's just not a southern thing?"
