The day I received this from you on the way home I ended up on a four lane
road and had to do the same thing you did. My '68 Impala has to be on a 
really steep "crown" before you have to steer crooked to go straight.  I
havn't driven my truck in about five years so I couldn't remember what it's
mannerisms were. Sure is nice being back in that huge cab again where I'm up
above everyone else, the Impala was rather low even though it wasn't a 
"low-rider".
