The car was always very solid at that kind of speed - good tires of course, and everything in balance. Europeans drive that fast all the time even faster in Germany. The US, particularly the eastern states, has always been more sedate. I see signs of change however. At one time anything over 70 would get you a guaranteed ticket on the New York State Thruway. Nowadays a lot of people are running 75+. I trained my petal foot to think about safety and fuel economy. That usually means at or under the speed limit. I've driven on the Autobahn in Germany and also on the Autostrata in Italy. You can't compare Rt I-95 anywhere to either one. This was back in the 70's though, so maybe things have changed. German drivers are very disciplined. Italian drivers are more like the fools on I-95 - haul ass and bypass. I think maybe we're letting too many Italians into the country. -- Ban idiots, not guns! I love driving in Europe except for the road signs. They drivers stay in the right lane, unless passing. Cops will ticket if you don't. |
