America\'s Fastest Highway is OPEN!

Man, you get out west, and it's GREAT where the states have the speed limits bumped way up. In some remote areas, you can go for half a day without seeing another car, and 80mph really helps! I love Texas. :happysigh:

I used to work for a former rocket scientist, and he had a button that said, "Why, yes, since you asked, I AM a rocket scientist!" :D

That was pretty much my news feed this morning! I felt bad for all of you. :(
 
Way back in the 90's when in Montana for business, I couldn't help but notice that I was the slowest driver on Montana's hiways which is usually the opposite back here in good ole Georgia.
So when I reached the town of my destination after leaving the airport, I asked the clerk at the hotel "what is the speed limit here in Montana, because I never saw any speed limit signs?"
To which he answered there are no speed limits.
Needless to say I enjoyed the rest of my visit to the Big sky state.

The feds made 'em change that if they wanted to keep taking highway money. So they set speed limits but didn't enforce them. :D
