I was quite impressed the one time I took the car up to 100 mph on a back
road in Ohio. So maybe I could get some other car that would easily do 130
or 140 but I don't think I'd have enough guts to take it that far nor
would I have a reason.. :)
100 MPH is more than enough to overload the adrenaline in my body. Glad to
hear you had fun on your trip..
