Last time I was in Hansville I didn't notice any superhighways! As far as the 4:11 goes, I have learned through 48 years on this giant rock that it's as tall as I want here. Keep in mind I'm partial to tall narrow tires, and HP just north of 100 at best. It's that Borg Warner OD that keeps me truckin' on Interste 5
