20 over is consider wreckless endager.. on top of the speeding ticket. so a typical 200+ ticket turns into a 1k ticket.. least in arkansas that is.. Not going to test it here in tx. I speed when the conditions are right and traffic is moving very nice.

Just back on point.. Just sad to see some very nice cars, and no room to put them to good use..

Austin is the last place id keep a nice car.

In just 5 years, my car was repeatedly destroyed by the crappy roads, crappy drivers, and crazy parking situations.

While the roads are crappy, the others are avoidable. My Jeep Cherokee still looks great after 17+ years on Austin streets.

Texas is one of the best places to let your horses run. There are many great straight roads to discover the top end of your car. And if you want to test your driving abilities, head into the hill country.

Doesn't the Circuit of the Americas have an "open house" event where locals can drive their fastmobiles around the track?


Went to brunch at the Grand Lux Café in the Domain early this afternoon. There were about 6 Ferraris lined up & parked behind a Rolls-Royce in the valet parking dropoff. Guess the bluebloods were having an outing at Blackfinn's.
