Drove from Houston area back to SoCal in 2 days. Google maps was the way to go. It diverted me from at least four choke points caused by construction.

Thanks BigKev, found it at Lexus of Northside off I45 in Spring. It just flashed into my mind I prolly need to get hold of the Hardy Toll road authority and pay the toll or I'm sure I'll get a nastygram. Surprised the Lexus dealer didn't auction it off it off.

Yep 10 minutes from my house..... Man alot of the dealers here keep these gm suv on the lot. Some crap, some are real nice, looks like yours is real nice. Even the big name shops in town stock these like candy...

Decided to pick it up. Had a bunch of miles and hotel points to use. Onstar and XM will Comp me on the Navi/Traffic features to get me home TX to CA. Planning on the 10 to get me back

Pls chime in if any drivers know of areas that might need to be avoided. So far the 60 in CA looks lovely like one of them

Hell yes, although the 93 octane in TX is lovely. The motor really connects to the trans’ shift points and kick down compared to the 91. AZ highway patrol loved hunkering down in the recessed divided highway medians.

Thank you Texas! I won’t mention the rural county, but their assistance in finding a work around for this CA boy to keep an 89 MPH cite earned in an 80 zone off my record, leaves me speechless.

When I passed a deputy in a Tahoe PPV, cruising in the passing lane at 79MPH, I crapped my pants. I told the deputy how embarrassed I was. I thought the cruise was set for 1MPH under 80 and it actually set it for 9MPH over or 89. The guy laughed, we shook hands and life goes on.

TX & Cali traffic schools don’t reciprocate so you can really screw yourself if you have a driving record that’s unblemished. Funny thing is, I did everything right. I didn’t pass a rig cruising in the passing lane at 75. I waited two miles for the rig to pull out of the passing lane but then royally f’d up and set the cruise back to 89. 14:00 hours and 10 hours at the wheel makes you stupid.
