Since the wife drives the r on a regular basis, the times that I do get it to myself it is fun to open it up.....I love being on the highway next to most any other sport ute/minivan.....and regardless of the current speed they are traveling, I can dust them at any point....it's just fun and it sounds great when the engine is pushed a little.
