Diesel — ah yes, but that was the era when, “The Grownups Wanted Us Dead.”

Why 57? They wanted to see if anyone actually noticed. Everyone noticed, but nobody cared. Oklahomans tend to drive SLOOOW. OC, welcome back! You know, I never really pondered it, but you're right. The worst place to be is in the righthand lane. And I've encountered more than my fair share of people in the back of a pickup (again with the Oklahoma thing). Fortunately my mother made it clear that was never an option, and the lesson stuck. Quilly, in Oklahoma, they had a speed limit sign once that was 57MPH. Why 57?
