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

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

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.
