Even my wife hit 90 passing a truck on a recent road trip from Seattle to San Francisco, and meanwhile I'm looking for a classic muscle car, so yes.

I have always gone over the speed limit. But my last speeding ticket helped me make the decision it was time to stop that nonsense.

Speaking of driving, one way you can know you're in Florida is the cars ahead of you appear to be driven by headless people.

Not sure about the old part, older certainly, but I do still drive fast. Only V-8s for me.

Yes, I pretty much run the speed limits. Its safer, burns less gas, and I'm in no danger of getting a performance award from the local authorities.

I guess I'm the oddball here. Yes, I have slowed down since I retired 5 years ago. I finally realized that I'm not in such a hurry to get anywhere anymore.

I just recently learned that those signs that have 55 MPH (or whatever combination) are not the minimum speed.
