Since my RHD Austin A60 pickup weighs as much as an MGB and has a grand
total of 61 HP, I don't worry much about seeing around cars that I would
like to pass because my liking to pass them and my Ute's ability to pass
them are two different things. But, yes, toll booths and drive-thrus are a
royal pain in the butt.
By the way, are there any roads in Chicagoland that are "not" in a state of
reconstruction? Man, what a mess on the Chicago by-pass and 90 going to
Rockford. It was bumper to bumper at 11 PM last night. Geez.
