There are a couple of places to do it, just if you get caught.....

That said, I kicked it to 150 indicated on I-40 once before I got skeered and let off.

Please save that kinda speed for the track. Our infastructure isn't built for those kind of speeds.

AND: if you are going to be doing 150mph, it would be a stupid idea to be distracted with taking a picture of the speedo with a camera.

We believe you: put down the camera, and nobody will get hurt.

"I seen 150 on the
speedo at redline."

And you really think the speedometer is that accurate at the extreme end of it's range??? Not likely.

Jim, Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play???

...you need the passenger to take the picture.


Took that picture going through Nebraska. There is nothing around there.
