I don't and that is why I get upset when they do with me. I responded appropriately to what was posted to me. I have tried to bow out of the thread but I was pulled back in.

Article in New Scientist ages ago had a review of the 55MPH speed limit on the US emergency runway system that doubles for highways, and had evidence that at 55MPH, there was insufficient driver stimulation for drivers to remain alert and attentive, and IIRC, about 70 on those roads was where drivers started functioning

I'm not that hard to pick out. I think I'm the only one in ohio driving a 550 HP SRT-10 ram. AKA the viper truck. Lowered 4", black on black.

Also, just for laughs, I got 11 mpg on that run... Using 5w-50.

You do understand that if you made 1000 mile trip at average speed of 100 mph, you were on the road for (at least) 10 hours. Unless your car has stealth technology and was invisible to naked eyes or it had a flashing red and blue light bar on the top, your account is not passing the smell test.

I do believe that you hit 140mph in your truck but not for hours and hours.

Since I am a billionaire and married to a super model and can bench press 1000 lb, I have every right to doubt your tales

Don't forget he got 11 MPG in an SRT10 Ram going 100 MPH. Those things don't get 11 MPG going 55 MPH. Great truck don't get me wrong but man it is getting DEEEEP up in here.
