Aren't you a Christian?

im sure there was some old testament law about your ass cannot exceed a certain velocity or distance in one day.
just because theirs ate hay and mine eats petroleum biproducts, theres no difference.

I'm already scared of how people drive at 65. If people could drive whatever speed they wanted... God help us all.

I think the incompetent ones would weed themselves out rather nicely; Darwin ftw!

I'd probably drive about 60 everywhere. I'm never in a big enough hurry to go 80+ and speed limits below 45 make me impatient. 60 feels about right everywhere.

If I was in a fast car I would drive fast, of course.

A normal car, just go as slow as top gear allows.

I'd probably just drive highway speeds. My 94 Saturn with 198,400 miles isn't quite a high performance machine.

Exactly. I live in Connecticut, and with the driving skill that I see on the highway every day... I might last two days, three tops.

I'd drive much faster then I do already, but I'd still drive within safe speeds given the conditions and roads. There's only a few roads here where you can actually safely do 80+ km/h. The rest have WAY too many pot holes and it would pretty much throw you off the road.
