92 MPH and he didn't pull me over

I suggest you don't drive around Atlanta. From the AL/GA border on I20 to the Atlanta Perimeter, if you are in the left lane, you better be running 85/90 or you will get run over.

Used to live in GA. Still visit once in a while.

I was going 92 in an 80 on the Pickle Parkway at night even, and the cop only turned his lights on, then turned them off when I backed it down to 85. Not all Texas cops are jerks after all. What's even better the that the speed limit goes up to 85 once you pass Austin. I then cruised along at 100. Driving is so much better down here.

Maybe he was having some coffee and doughnuts and didn't want to be bothered...

Shift change & terribly rainy or bitterly cold, windy days are the best days to speed or simply drive without complications. Late nights or VERY early in the mornings are terrible times.....don't do it!!!! HA!

Heck most of the new cars coming off the line are on;y capable of running just sp fast unless you get a high performance ship and re tune the computer.

All vehicles come equipped with an electronic speed governor programmed into the CPU. The manufactures set this to the type of tires that are standard on the car. Meaning if your model comes with speed rated tires the governor is set higher than the same model without speed rated tires. Example: My Camaro SS is set at a 163 mph limiter, the Z/28 with the exact same drivetrain is limited to 118 mph do to non speed rated tires. It all comes down to quality tires built to handle the air pressure buildup and temps of higher speeds.

I think he overinflated the ball.

If all vehicles had GPS speed limiters, they wouldn't have to spend money on speed control, nor pay for speed limit signs. Speeds would come down, better MPG and more money in the drivers pocket due to spending less on fuel. Also, less pollution.

YAY FASCISM!!!

Really can't understand how you support the government making laws 'for our own good'. God that's awful to consider.

Crash at 92mph and chances are you aren't coming out alive. Production cars are not designed to withstand high speed impacts.

so yes... by all means keep going almost 100 mph...

How fast do the vehicles you sell go, Mr. broom salesman? Note to lurkers: Voted4Reagan is a seller of occult paraphernalia.

I think most of us quit supporting Mr Executive Order awhile ago. And why have faith in a government that has the power to stop him and does nothing?

Good lord; another liberal who hasn't any concept of what Liberty and responsibility means?

[Truth Detector]

So you don't think there should be speed limits? I don't really want to get on the freeway with people driving 80 mph.
If you want to drive you souped up car around, go to Germany. The autobahns have no speed limit.

Back in the day when autobahn so had no speed limits, the accidents were spectacular. Today some sanity has reigned and they now post speed limits; due to the density of cars now on the autobahn.

Those who who advocate no drug laws, no speed laws and no immigration laws haven't engaged their brains sufficiently before erupting with such dimwitted notions.

She's a Brit. Don't judge too harshly. The magna carta defines our liberty and it's been around since way before us. Every law we have is based on English law. I mentioned this in another thread ... we didn't invent English. We didn't even invent our laws. We tailored English Law to suit the guys that didn't want to pay their taxes,

What I want to know and never get an answer for, is if we committed tyranny against our King, then why do we have a government that robs us worse than he ever did? Hell, he only wanted me to pay for his damned tea. I can't walk out the door without the government wanting in my wallet.

I got a deal on a back window for one of the girls' cars for $150. So guess who gets the other $35 on top of that?

Why not let people crash and die due to their stupidity? Honestly Autobahns - plenty of which have no speed limits - are the best reason to allow folks to drive faster. Allow folks to have a choice. Mile-per-mile, germans have among the lowest death rate.
