Yeah, when I was in Atlanta I thought I was busted for speeding so many times, but they never pulled me over. I think they profile who they pull over.

For me excessive speeding seems in illogical, these vehicles are not designed for it. God help you if you have to make a high speed evassive maneuver because of someone else's stupidity. With that said, I do my best to try and not push my Rubi past 70 on the highways are here in Chicagoland. The sad thing about that is anything slower and I'm the one who is causing a traffic hazard.

In any case, a priceless moment for me yesterday. Mind you my GPS only gets used in mine or my wife's Rubicons.

In Cali, most of the hiways are posted 65 which is a guideline for the CHP to stop the speeders with.
Speed limit going to Vegas is 70 and that also is a joke.
Most of the time, doing the limit will get you runover.
Personally, Ill do 70 and feel thats as much speed as this ol man can handle.

I know this is strictly dangerous, and im aware of it, on do those speeds on my fast lane, usually or almost all the time here the fast lane is clear and open.

Are you running a Hemi?
If not, is your speedometer off by a factor of 2?
Or does this dream occur frequently? 100+ 3.8L

Is the "fart can" a reference to cars??
If so that is almost a good as bikers refering to cars as "cages".
