Wanna Haul A**? Legally? Texas Passes 85mph Speed Limit..
« on: September 06, 2012, 05:59:22 PM »
41 miles of toll road from Austin to San Antonio. 

Not quite the 200 mph Bugatti Veyron, but I like the idea.....



I'm positive some weeny group will tout pending death and destruction, replay the "Blood On The Highway" films from the 60's and 70's, we saw in high school, but....

I like it.... ;D

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Utah, across the salt flats, there weren't any speed limits in '98.

Back in '79 after getting discharged from the USN I made the trip from N. CA to Michigan in three days.  I ran the flats in my 71 Toyota at about 105 mph until she overheated.  I stopped, grabbed the tool box, took out the thermostat, removed the a/c pump, tossed it in a ditch and kept going east to Salt Lake City!  The next morning I changed the fluids and made it to North Platte, NE before 3 or 4 that afternoon.

Damn near left my dog in Utah... ;D

The Texas Department of whatever's reason for increasing the speed limit was, and I swear this is true,...."well everyone was driving that speed anyway".......watch out for 95 in a couple of years  :D

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

If any of you have driven in Texas you know that as silly as this sounds it's probably true 'cause if you drive even close to the speed limit in Texas you will get run over.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Hell, if you drive close to the speed limit damn near ANYWHERE you'll get run over.
