I was following a truck with a CT90, the nice yellow one with the tubular forks, loaded in the bed on the freeway the other day and I was thinking that it was probably the fastest it would ever do. I guess I've gotten both of my C70s up to 70 or so and even crossed the Sierra-Nevada twice with one.
One of my odd quirks is somehow thinking that vehicles can talk, I used to park my 71 Datsun next to other Datsuns so they could chat about the good old days. Wonder what the SuperCubs think about riding around in the mini van. Probably something like "weheee, I'm finally out of that shed...boy we're going realllllly fast".
(imagine a cute or dirty tagline here)
