You mean you routinely travel abor 129 mph?

Man, I live in the wrong part of the country; I can't remember the last time I went over 100 mph... I think I was asleep while my wife was driving my 1991 Integra. From refueling to low fuel light in 4 hours, 320 miles, 80 mph average. She told me she had it around 110 mph for a while; I was taking a nap.
Once I let a cop (a brother of a friend at the time) drive that Integra on a long trip; that was a wild ride... cruise set at 92 mph in traffic and lots of hard braking when someone cut us off. He said he's never gotten a ticket; he just shows his badge and they let him go.
