Only65?
According to the New York State Police, they clocked us towing a howitzer to the Kensico Dam Plaza doing 90.
Spc Carlson merely sped up until traffic wasn't passing us left and right anymore.
Since the speedo stops at 50 (55 can be guessed at) we have no idea what speed we were really going at.
But the Staties were yelling to us over our tire and engine noise that we were doing 90, and to have a nice day.
(I highly doubt we were doing 90. 67 maybe.)

Whatever happend to the old Gamma Goat vehicle? What a POS! I hated them with a passion. For convoy security, methinks a Stryker would be better served than a Humvee. Of course nothin' beats an Abrams, either!
