Last time I drove through west texas, I was cruising along, listening to the stereo...not a care in the world. Glanced down at the speedometer, and I was doing...
145.
"Holy HECK!" This is not a ticket, it is jail time.
So I slowed down to 80, and put it on cruise control. I felt like I was CRAWLING...lol hard to judge speed in a desert.

OK now. My BS meter is going redline. Just WHAT were you driving that does 145?

You must have had a really old car, or else a digital spedometer if it went up to 145.

I once set the cruise at 100 on my Taurus SHO, just for grins. Then I heard the term "statutory reckless driving", and never did it again.

LOL! That reminds me of the time I was traveling I 40, between Tucumcary and Albuquerque on solid ice. I was creeping along at about 40 mph, with my foot as gentle on the accelerator as I possibly could, when I noticed the speedometer read 80 mph, that's how fast the wheels were spinning. If I had hit a dry spot about then, I wouldn't be here typing this.
