I made it to 100 in a Corolla on a level highway but once I hit that magic mark I backed off.

um, 90? I don't drive (i'm 14). I think my dad went 90 once to get around a truck really fast on the freeway.

Like I said it was in the middle of nowhere on I45 on our way to Dallas from Houston to get to a swap meet in the wee hours of the morning on a Saturday.

I have done 185 on one of my motorcycles but since I could not verify it with a GPS or radar I can't really say how fast I was really going as this is what the speedometer indicated.

Give me a time of day and day of the week and a map and I'll trace you out at least 6 high-speed routes of 100mi or more that are completely unpatrolled.

Perhaps I should have qualified that one with "in the Maryland/southern PA area"
