Oct 28, 2009 - Aside from the fact that it's illegal to draft vehicles in all 50 states. You also have the problem of road debris and potholes. As someone who's driven OTR I can tellyou from personal experience that I can't steer around large obsticles or potholes at highway speeds. My FLD120 weighs 18,000lbs with the trailer. I can't slalom the same way a car or truck can. If your drafting me, It's your own damn fault what happens to you...

Oct 30, 2009 - Plausible? These people act like they reinvented the wheel. Doesn't anyone remember the 1979 film 'Breaking Away', about the Italian racer-wannabe from Bloomington, IN? One of the most famous scenes in the movie is his jumping on the interstate with his Masi, and hopping behind a big rig. The driver sees him, and as indicates with his fingers: 40, 50, then 60 mph. The stunt is captured on film from a distance, the speed is real, not just 'plausible'.

Shal3000 Says:

Oct 30, 2009 - The masi's spedometer is in KILOMETERS PER Hour. That's kinda like watching old james bond movies where you see him racing down a winding mountain road and the show the speed 40 50 60 70 80 90... Well, fact: 65MPH = 100 KPH (Approx). Looks impressive but it's not that fast....60 Km's is only about 35 - 38 Mph

Nov 15, 2009 - Most likely they have, and have to do a little bit of acting to appear like there's a real puzzle here. This is entertainment, and targeting entertainment solely for physicists doesn't really get that many viewers..

wichrau Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - There's no 'Masi speedo' in the movie, dunno what you're talking about: see the film again, and you'll know what I'm referring to.
