Geoff: My apologies, like CNKS has said we rural dwellers do encounter a bit of difficulty comprehending the complexity of urban sprawl. We generally think of 5.5 hours taking us at least 300 miles, and in the case of Ontario closer to 400 miles, Ontario being a rather lawless spot when it comes to mph. OPP don't even blink an eye until your 20% over the posted speed limit. I have a friend in MI, we joke about the large numbers of MI cars you see in ON, but not the reverse. Ontario drivers generally don't go to MI a lot as they must obey the speed limit. My friend tells me the MI drivers we get in ON are the MI drivers who like to break the law and get away with it. I hope you realize I am trying to be a bit light hearted about this whole matter. My friend in MI tells me, we are not the only lawless society, as it applies to mph, and that NY state is just as bad. On a more serious note I am surprised you don't have a few dealers in that urban sprawl. We have one near Toronto, (By near I may as well say in Toronto) who has done very well by urban sprawl. He got into lawn care equipment, highway mowers, skid loaders and other compact equipment. The fact he is driving force behind old iron collection has ben quite a factor as well.
