Nevertheless, going 50 when others are going 30 in bad conditions is
reckless.  It's not you (and your wonderful syncro) that I worry about...
it's the Los Angelean in a Pinto driving in the snow for the first time.  If
they slide into your lane while you're coming up on them at 50, they're
screwed.
