Michael, I agree, I think we both basically want the same thing.  If I'm going 75, and you're going 65 in the fast lane, you'd better get your keister over or else you're gonna get an eyefull of 100w Eurolights.

But, If I'm going 100, then its a different story.  Problem is, when you're talking about following the laws, but going 30-40mph faster than the speed limits, the you've got a really big log in 'yer eye.  The laws are pretty much out the door at that point.  On the Autobahn, its not against the law, in the US, it might get you thrown in jail, or and Integra hood ornament.
