IT SUCKS!!! Everyone goes slow, the speed limit on the highways is only 65mph and people drive in the passing lane! I was flipping out and flipping birds!! Everyone in Michigan knows that your suppose to go 5 mph over the speed limit, not under. And if u drive in the passing lane in michigan you get a huge pickup truck right on your ass. But by far your road qualities are better. I was getting better MPG on Ohio road then Michigan roads. I took a trip to Ohio State Univeristy today and I got to drive 10 hours total. It was a blast!

when its not rush hour, then i think its generally accepted to go 80-85mph, and if you are between gaylord, and grayling, then its acceptable to go 120+ (mph, of course ;-) )
5 over is for getting good gas milage :wink:

oh yeah... while you're in OH, did you drive around the corn fields at night? interesting drag races take place... so many muscle cars in OH, and IN

You thought the road quality in ohio was good? I drive all the way accross ohio about 4-6 times a year and i thought they were the worst roads ive ever been on.

maybe you hit the only bad roads....but damn there were nice. SOOO smooth. While I was heading back up to michigan, I could see the road changing. lol it was kinda funny. Id feel a little bump here and a lil more and a lil more until I got back to detriot where I was swerving to miss potholes. lol Gaylord and Petoskey are places where u can go nuts, I agree. But no, I didn't see any drag racing. If anyone lives in ohio and have been to columbus are there any cool car places to go? i.e car stores, car dealers, etc?

LOL, you think thats bad! Try driving on snow-covered Canadian highways with Americans sharing the road... Im not saying all americans cant drive in snow, but whenever I see a car in the slow-lane with the 4-way flashers on going 20kph because theres 1cm of snow on the road, its always got american plates. Then all the Canadians are goin 120 like theres nothing wrong... and its not the canadians who crash either :P just thought that was funny the few times I saw it.

do you take the Turnpike because that's a pretty good road from Indiana through Pennsylvania.
I was just in Michigan Saturday in South Haven (if any Michigan guys know where it is) and the highway going there wasn't too bad but I have to say your Troopers are funny as hell with the giant cherry on top, I thought they stopped using those in the 60's.

turnpike is good except for the cops, and construction ;)

andi know exactly where South Haven is... i used to live 30 miles east of it in kalamazoo... and will again before too long, i think...
i personally prefer the south beach, but the north beach is where the yuppies chill w/ thier 2 way nextels... ive seen a 360 yuppie there a few times :lol:
