Re: To all those who live in Texas

wow. interesting indeed. I wonder if 99% of your average drivers can handle that kind of speed. Pretty crazy enough going 90mph constantly.

Not sure if you've been there, but that's pretty much the speed people drive right now, I know this sounds crazy and unrealistic but it's true and scary at the same time.

Yup, it's pretty common for traffic to be flowing ~80-85mph on my way to work and anywhere from 70-90 in the afternoon on my way home.

Re: To all those who live in Texas

^^^yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. Alot of people out there don't really think about how fast they're going and how they're car handles + the tires they have on. I don't even think the majority of cars can handle really well at 85+ mph cruising. But, we'll see. Now I wanna go to texas and do some 35-85 rolls! hahaha. jk
