That's my -choice- but it doesn't work very often. I live in the
country on a US highway. That means that as soon as I leave the driveway I have to get up to 60-65 or be impedeing traffic. I hate doing that on a cold engine so will give it a minute or two idle before leaving. Harry K |

You have no obligation to help people break the law, you moron. |
