So you are saying that my dad whose been driving for nearly 35 years and has never caused an accident yet has gone well over double the speedlimit is suddenly gonna wreck? Sorry, but I don't see that ever happening.
We have limitations(atleast I think we do
), and there's never been a time where we ever lost control of the car at high speeds(there's been several times of going over an icy bridge when there's snow on the road going like 45 and we started to slide around(Probe GTs have wide tires which suck on snow and ice), but to my knowlage there's never been a full spin out wreck or anything...well my mom use to have a old Capri, and the back end was light as hell, and on her way to work one day(this was all before my time BTW), she hit a patch of ice, slid off into the grassy median but then regained control and made it back on the highway, no damage done(except a huge scare)). Also, since my dad is a Mazda Tech, all of our cars are kept in mint driving condition(a few have rust spots, those are 14 yr old+, and they've gone though STL winters), so we've never had a highspeed mechanical failure(I take that back...well sorta...my mom had a Firebird back in the '70s, and going down the highway it caught fire. She didn't wreck though, just pulled onto the shoulder and jumped out).
Speed only kills if you crash. We don't crash. Even if we did, we wouldn't kill anyone. And it's not like every time we drive we do 120+ down the highway, we normally drive like 10-15 over the limit on the highway, no problems, and we get to our destination faster. We have never been pulled over for highway speeding either(short story: Subaru has training schools in Naperville Ill, right outside of Chicago. Last year my dad(he's a Mazda and Subaru Tech) went to one such thing(they have them so often, it's wierd) with another mech from the dealership in my dad's RX-7. On the way up, my dad decided to get some sleep and let the other guy drive. Well, my dad woke up to the other guy getting a ticket in my dad's RX.
).
So while you are conservative and looking out for my safety and other's safety, did you ever stop to think that car makers make cars that can do excessive speeds, and some people want to safely test their cars?
Ohh, and a side note. Mazda's cruise control(atleast on the late 80's/early 90s cars) only lets you accellerate up to 90mph with the cruise, yet you can just floor it, go past that, and set the cruise. We have done 95-100mph cruises before. It's great.
SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE
That's stupid. It should be 85, or something.
My Kwack tops at around 150Km/h in 1st.
OHMFG You are so coll!!!
