Texas Autobahn Opens Soon
 

I saw this in the news.
Any of you Texas people gonna use it?


85 mph! Texas to open toll highway with fastest speed limit in nation - U.S. News

That's like what . . . 2nd gear in a Veyron? :D

Kinda ridiculous--the fanfare anyway. They regularly go 85 on the ones around Dallas.

BBBBBBBBBBut ttttthat's illegal!

Maybe Nevada will see this and raise our limits. The max right now is 75, but there are plenty of places you could do 100+ relatively safely.

Could?

Some of already have. This is how I know.

But if it's a toll road, what good is an 85mph limit if I'm always having to slow/stop for toll booths?

Might have to take my new ride out there.... :)

piss on perrys toll roads. uh thaks incorrect--he sold them off to a Spanish private equity outfit and paid for the ridiculous run for president with his pocket lined with euros

go to Montana. 75mph night speed limit, no daytime speed limit on some highways. Then you could really see what she could do

I thought you hated Texas ;)

I remember back in the sixties Montana (or Wyoming?) had no speed limit. Mike Mansfield a prominant senator from there had a 64 ford with the 427 high output motor with a four speed for cruising quickly!;)

Hmmmm, interesting. Must investigate this.


I did find out that I can ship my new ride to Germany for ~1100 round trip. Not bad, especially when its going to cost me ~800 to rent a car for my trip.

Hate is a strong word. The people there are awesome, some of the most humble, down to earth people I have ever had the privilege of meeting.


Texas is "uncomfortable"... The humidity kills me. (among other things, the traffic is WTF I WANT TO GOUGE MY EYEBALLS OUT HORRIBLE) :(

Yep, 2nd part sounds like hate to me :D
