It was the Metris van, not the LLV. Thats how she was able to get it more than 55mph.

I've driven an LLV on the highway (had no choice on my old route) and even at 55 it's terrifying. Everything rattles, the motor screams and the steering wheel is going all over the place.

That certainly clears it up lol The photo was deceiving.

Yeah I was about to ask, I thought those goddamn things were 4 speeds or something lol

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

3 speed transmission actually, so even worse lol

Can confirm, got on the highway in an LLV once, was sure I was going to die, never again.
