Yep that's it; my wife mentally adds 2 hours to my estimates for a day on a
road trip because I tend to flow behind the madness around me when driving
the Westy. Why worry about getting there first when everything you need is
in the back, why push the machinery past what it feels good doing? I just
stay to the right and yield to folks trying to merge. I also embarrass her
by waving to people going the other way on the 2 lane roads I prefer.

Does anybody remember when VW owners were rare enough that they waved at
each other going by? Of course, Vanagon drivers still do that when they see
each other on the road... :-)
