RE: 120mph??? Yes. And more....
<<H, V, Z, - none will save you from rocks or shrapnel in the road. >>
Or airliners falling out of the sky. Or heart attacks. Or vampires. Or Bambi
suddenly deciding that the grass really IS greener on the other side of the
road. Or endless hours of Monica on TV. Or cancer.
Let's see -- don't eat eggs; don't eat salt; don't have sex; don't drink
alcohol; don't smoke; don't exceed 23.7 mph; never, ever, ride in those nasty
old airplanes ('cause what if the pilot has a heart attack?); stay out of the
big cities; don't go out at night; etc., etc., etc.
I'm sorry, but I'm not buying in here. Like Bob I run Zs, sometimes Hs on the
older cars. Most times I'm below 80, but sometimes I feel the urge to make
sure the old dogs will still run. So I check top end, or pretty close thereto.
And getting the sled up to about 130 feels pretty good sometimes.
Next week I'll be in Germany. On the Autobahn. With LOTS of other people.
Most of whom will be running at 100 mph or faster, just like me. And I intend
to enjoy every moment of it.
I appreciate your concern, but I have a different viewpoint in life. So does
Bob Myers. Some of us still retain the independent streak that started this
nation.
Later.
