Yep, I saw that today going through Greenville and Spartanburg. They were on 3 different bridges.

Forgot to tell you. They are even sneakier than you think. As you probably already know, they are driving pick ups with and without campershells, but the latest I have seen is a bunch of little silver Toyota Carollas. I have seen them pulling trucks over and parked at the coops. They look just as plain as can be, no tint or anything. But they flip a switch and I swear every orifice in that car starts flashing.

I saw them wolf packing in NC around burlington a week or so ago too. 3 on the bridge, and about 6 chase cars. i am still not used to seeing the new tahoes yet either. There are a bunch of those and the chargers. Watch out.

Yeah, your right, Idon't even write in it anymore til about 3 days later. The 34 hour restart is that stupid mess where you can only work 70 hours in/and/or 8 days then you have to take 34 consecutive hours off.
