No, my friend does 140km/h on a 60km/h road in his BMW.

EDIT: Not when there are cars around.

If you drive the actual speed limit then you are creating more pollutants which is very bad for the precious trees.

Well maybe its because life in Oregon is so boring that it is worthwhile to drive slow since there aint nothing better to do.

It's not boring here at all. :) If you've ever been here and were with someone who actually knew what they were doing, you'd think differently.

No, its Eugene, OR. Almost everybody drives slow there. I think its the only place in America where people drive below the speed limit.

5-10 mph under the speed limit will NOT affect your trip ETA in the slightest

Wow, there are people who drive below the speed limit? They'll never survive in New Jersey.

Well, I like most of Oregon, just not everything. Too many bad memories here, though. I wonder if Excelsior would want to trade places. :p
