Ever improving engine technology and better transmissions are also playing a big part in vehicles getting better MPG nowadays. Most trannys nowadays have at least 6 forward gears and some with as many as 8 forward gears. |

Amtrak doesn't bother with such small details. It is why they find themselves in the financial position they presently occupy. |

I would be impressed if it hit 75 MPH with a 2.5 c.i engine.Hell I could do 90 with my 1.8 woop-de-doo Subaru...  Hit a deer with it in October 2010. I still miss it :o( |

The big edict came out of DC saying that railroads have to upgrade with it, so they probably have to upgrade out of pocket. (Ain't regulation grand?) |

That's why I did that speed, it's that or get run off the road. Huh? Who's going to run you off the road? If you are only comfortable driving 55 MPH there and/or want to obey the speed limit, there's no reason you can't drive 55 MPH, AS LONG AS YOU DO IT IN THE RIGHT-MOST LANE. Screw everyone else who wants to speed. You have every right to follow the law as long as you do it courteously, i.e. in the right-most lane. So you simply caved to peer pressure. But you certainly didn't HAVE to. It was your choice. Nothing bad would have necessarily happened to you if you chose to drive 55 MPH in the right-most lane. |

You do not know WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Yes I certainly do know what I'm talking about. I drive on interstate highways. But if you think I don't, then how come the best you can do is threaten to leave? How come you can't simply have a normal discussion, i.e. explain where and how I am wrong? |

He won't answer your question, and in his head he believes he has done nothing wrong. He thinks of those he goes after as "haters" (which BTW he has yet to answer me as how he defines a "hater", but the obvious definition is that a "hater" is anyone who doesn't agree with him or calls him out on his many issues) and therefore is open game in his delusional head. These are all mind games to him. He is nothing more than an internet bully. Now, it seems he has drove another good contributor to SubChat away with his disrespectful, and vile behavior. My question is, what good does he contribute to SubChat? Several people here have even commented on his behavior and even a couple of his friends, but he is so delusional that he still doesn't stop his vileness. JMHO. |

I agree, if it was you, me or almost anyone else we'd be banned if we behaved here the way he does. You know, it would be one thing if he was like this with everyone here and in real life, but from several people I know he is OK in real life, so he is IMHO a coward hiding behind his keyboard. |
