I remember 6 years back driving 2100 miles in less than 4 days in my newly
purchased 67B. My right leg really got to cramping when extended for many
hours at a time. Now, when I drive over 3 hours straight my leg starts
getting uncomfortable. I have a slightly used add-on cruise control and
someday might go ahead and install it on the 79B.
