Do many of you take your cars on the highway? Last night I was going down a back road, I hit 80KM/H and felt that was fast enough. It was great and scary all at the same time. But I dont think I want

My wifes car is by no means a daily driver, but I took it to work a couple times on the highway. The fastest I got going was about 75 MPH. It seemed fine as long as the road was smooth. Any little bu

I have no problem keeping up with the freeway traffic around here, going 65-70 MPH (~110 km/h). But after a while, the noise gets to you... Doug Braun '72 Spit /// /// spitfires@autox.team.net mailin

Personally, I don't like to drive on the highways. Not because of the speeds but because it's boring. Especially here since they are mostly flat and straight. As far as how fast, when I do take the h
