Adaptive cruise control works great in traffic jams. So does adaptive attitude
I tried mine that day and it overcompensated each way. 2024 Titan gave too much gas followed by too much braking. It could have worked if it had a lighter touch. I have had some success with smaller SUV Nissan vehicles during rolling traffic jams.

Re: Things I Hate
I hate traffic. A couple of weeks ago when I was coming back from the MKE herf, I had successfully avoided almost all major metropolitan areas, but I was ready to make my biggest mistake of the trip. As I was returning I assumed I could breeze through Nashville on a Sunday evening at 8:00 pm because maybe everyone had settled down for the evening to get ready for the work week. Well, that didn’t work. It was in reality the beginning of the work week for the construction crews who were trying to repair the roadways around Nashville without disruption of daytime rush hour traffic. Here I was less than 30 minutes from home, delayed by at least an hour. They had entirely shut down the exit to I-24 the main artery to Murfreesboro. And traffic was so jammed up I couldn’t get off at any exit because most were closed by construction. I had to travel west on 440 and turn south on I 65 which was currently choked down to one lane. The two main arteries running south out of Nashville, and there was one lane available to me. I was going nuts. I would rather drive an extra hour through some rural area than sit in traffic any length of time jammed in with those other drivers.

VINTAGE DAKA - WARE HARRY DAVIES MOLDING CO. "THE WINNER" ASHTRAY BAKELITE RETRO

Daka-ware referred to our line of compression molded phenolic knobs, handles and ashtrays. Yes, you read that correctly, ashtrays- they were quite popular at that time. Daka-ware, phenolic parts, can withstand much higher temperatures than ABS or PVC plastics.
I noticed a crack in my ashtray. Be careful, they may have become brittle over the years or it may be due to sun exposure.

Re: Whatcha smokin tonight?
Great stick had some sweet spice notes light ceder and milk chocolate notes thru out both the draw and the retro.
Full body right out of the gate.
Has a little strength kick at the end that even made my hair sweat a little. Which is awesome I don't find to many blends that make me reach for some sugary drink or food to often so really thought that was nice.
But all in all Definitely a different experience- blend and flavor wise then I've experience from Black works/trading company stuff really enjoyed and glad I grabbed a box of this blend.
Re: Whatcha smokin this afternoon??
This small bee really likes my Punch. They're all over the pollen blooms on the Texas Privet I'm smoking near. The yellow ashtray probably isn't helping things either.

Re: Whatcha smokin this afternoon??
I've been doing this thing recently where I've been smoking things of the same brand and lines and distant cousins and siblings to see what I could pick up when I smoked them back to back.
I have done this with plasencia a few times and it's interesting to me how these things play off of each other. Had the 151 this morning and now I'm going for the 149, which is a lot better than it was just by itself the last time I had it.
Previously done this with ilusione, Dunbarton, CH, and padron. It's an interesting approach.

Re: Any photographers out there?
A rock-walled canyon in Utah?
Or the top of an old fencepost?
If you said the latter, you'd be correct.
