do you speed?

My speed on the highway is determined by which car I am driving. If I am driving my Expedition, then I generally travel at 60 to 80 MPH depending on the amount of congestion. If I am driving my Evo then I travel at speeds between 70 and 110. FYI, my car can get much faster than that because it is not governed. I will not push it any faster than that on public roads though. When I do hit the 3 digit speeds in my car it is just to get away from the "Wolfpacks" on the highway. Once I am clear of them I take my speed back down to the 70-80 MPH range.

For the most part I speed to get away from other vehicles and I drive at a speed that is comfortable for me. I'm sorry, but after driving and or riding on the Autobahn for 7 years of my life driving at the speed limit is like nails on the chalkboard to me.

As far as gas is concerned, I never changed my driving habits when the gas was more expensive either. To me, driving at a speed that I am comfortable at is a luxery that I am willing to pay for whether it be at the pump or in a fine.

Are you honestly that impatient? WTF.

All it takes is for someone not to see you coming, merge in front of you, and that can be lights out for you.
