Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 23, 2010

Been there.

35 mph on I-70 climbing into the mountains (Floyd Hill for those familiar with CO) in a TIRED Honda Civic. Heavy ski traffic was going by at 70 (or more)

Scary.

@slowflyer been there, too. ‘Ya wonder will my future be covered by flames?!

I’d be more worried about the missing tail lights.

I had a friend killed in NM by hitting a driver going 30 in a 75mph zone near Santa Fe. It was dark and there were no tail lights on the rancher’s truck. RIP Kriz.

My first car was a ‘51 Ford whose windshield wipers stopped when accelerating or going up hill.

and he SHOULD be concerned! According to the nice officer who gave me my very first ticket, there are more accidents caused by slow drivers than speeders. I never made that mistake again.

A plugger’s truck is older than his kids!

going west out of denver in a 27 foot motor home has a tendecy to slow you down and i saw a few cars stopped with steam coming from under the hood.but it is a beautiful drive

@SCOTTtheBADGER – That’s nothing to worry about, if he’s using the correct hand signals – this Plugger’s truck is of a model year when “tail lights” were an optional extra, usually after-market.

Where’s a stuck gas peddle when you need it?
