Just back from a fantastic holiday in Florida. My first experience of driving sitting in the passenger's seat 
But I hardly saw any 5 series.
The place has brilliant roads but what I don't get is why is the speed limit so low. I could have been eating my meals and driving at the same time too.
That point aside, the weather was excellent. Feeling miserable being back to a very wet and cold late spring!
P.S. : Sorry to all those to sent me PMs in the last 10 days. I will try and reply to them shortly. The board should have a Vacation response setting.

Yeah, new freeway speed limit increased to 65 mph few years ago, used to be 55 mph...haha
freeways are always congested here so you just follow the herd. Different in the UK where there were almost always open lane (long time ago)
What is the speed limit there now? On the motorway 70 was the speed limit but that was slow lane, middle lane cruisers avg 90 and the fast lane reserved for overtaking lane 110+ mph. At least that was the norm 20 years ago when I was there.
