Yea far or close, I just don't like to follow a big rig because I know that they can do. It's no secret that you will save alot of gas following a big rig but I just don't want to take that chance. If I'm on a two lane hwy and I happen to get stuck behind on of those, I would rather pull over and let all the cars pass me and than follow them LOL. I'm just that scared, those rocks can shoot back pretty far. I just think it's better to be safe than sorry.

... I also took mine to the drag strip... LOL. If you want to see FUNNY, imagine seeing a stock-motor VX doing a big, smoky burnout in the wetbox at Indianapolis Raceway Park (oops, I mean O'Reilly Raceway Park) before posting a slow run. It was all bark and no bite.

However, it is notable that it only ran 0.15 seconds slower in the quarter than Car and Driver tested a new one in 1992 (17.55 vx 17.4 seconds)... and mine had 232,000 miles on it.
