My old van would probally blow up if I tried to get it goingthat fast.


Nah that dodge can handle it. I had an '82 with over 180k and it ran great except for reverse when it was cold.

I am scared to drive that fast anymore, my nerves just couldn't handle it.I f I got on those fast roads in Texas they would run over me. I like to stay on the slow poke back roads where I can drive 35 or 40 miles per hour.

Does the road had a minimum speed so you won't get a ticket for going too slow?

What do we care about speed limits in another country for anyway??

Who's in another country??? I think you are. :)

Why are there speed limits? Aside from 'revenue enhancement' that is. Physics gives us limits already.

I guess you want people going 65 in a residential neighborhood.

The belief system in the Republic of Texastan is so out of synch with that of the United States it may as well be its own sovereign nation!

More executions annually than in the 49 United States combined. Greenhouse-promoting 85mph speed limits, a president can't even roll down the street in Dallasalam without getting half his skull blown all over a public park! Shall I go on?

I don't and that is not reasonable. Nor is running over a cyclist at a 'legal' 25mph using the well worn but effective "didn't see her".

We wouldn't need arbitrary numbers (20? 25? 30?) if there were strict liability. Which there isn't now.

Pick your poison, but this one is not all that great IMHO.

What on earth makes you think a number on a sign prevents that?

The OP should go to Mass. where his life can be more regulated. "Don't Mess with Texas"!

Me, go to Massatwobumps? No thanks.I prefer Unregulated. I live about 430 miles East of the Republic of Texas. The Stetson Hat was invented in my State. Heh, we taught those Texicans everything they know.

I'm a Midwesterner - starting to long for the freedom and independence of Texas(ans).

Maybe I should move there *before* they secede - lest I become an illegal alien from the US. ;-o
