Sounds like a plan, lets move the discussion over to the other thread that was started regarding the local convoys.

I'm in Austin and would like to meet with you guys. I havn't heard of any other "planned" Austin convoy. I assume you guys will head up 183 or are you going to stay south and go over on 71?

At this time I believe the consensus is north of Austin through Round rock to avoid the Austin traffic

Brakes? What's that haha

I forget the 5.4L guys don't need brakes

I left foot brake Watch the vehicle in front of you, not the lights.

I actually didn't know you weren't suppose to drive with both feet. I was in drivers ed when I had the instructor tell me it was a HUGE no no! I told him this is the only way I've learned to drive and its fluid for me. I guess age and laziness has moved me to drive with one foot. Your right thought the time it takes to go from one to the other and then "feel" the pedal is like flintstones to me SLOOWWW.

That's what my instructor was trying to show me at Hallett but I can't do it smoothly for the life of me. Feels like throwing a ball with your left hand.

It ain't the only thing you do awkwardly... at least that's what someone told me!!! :********:
