i do 130 on a regular basis... lol
When I lived in Vermont with the Supra and my first Formula (And with my NX2000) we used to sit on i-91 and wait for low flying planes to come into brattleboro, and race them.
Seriously?
I don't like to go 130, it eats gas like you wouldn't believe. The car will do it, but physics aren't on my side if something gets kicked up from another car, or falls off a truck. I don't want to have a rock go through my chest like a bullet.
My Brother lives in Germany, he does 130+ all the time. however, for most people, the idea of doing 130 is very different then normal driving in Germany or where ever you're from. If I'm doing 130 in anything, the last thing on my mind is mpg. =)
haha. I'm the kinda guy who has an excel spreadsheet of every tank of gas he has put into the car. Today on the way home I was getting tailgated at 100mph. We're talking less than 3 feet of seperation, and that's pretty normal here.
If I had a different/more powerful car, I probably would drive a little faster, but I wouldn't sustain any different speeds. My car has a few aero mods to it, because I end up driving 110km/day just to get to work. You grow a different aprecieation towards things when you spend about an hour each way to work every day. Every penny you don't have to spend on gas is a penny more you have to spend on worthless shit that just takes up space in your house, and that is good.
Heh, just to toss this out; I get about 30mpg with the way I drive.
Now, back to my Die Hard marathon.
They are landing in a few miles, so they aren't high-tailing it or anything. But the traffic pattern puts them really low and parallel to the highway.
You can do the same in Oxford CT, but they have to hit 1,000 by the time they are off the airfield, so you can't wave up at them like you can in Vermont.
