I was "daydreaming" and found my self doing just over 100 on I-10 Last week, Passed a State Tropper, Have no Idea why he didn't give me a ticker or at least stop me. It was around 4:30, maybe he was more interested in getting home.
Yea, I REALLY need to get a radar detector. While I don't speed recklessly, I do find myself going 100 quite often. The damn car is just too stable at high speed. I could be going 130 and the car feels more stable then my Sebring did at 55. I am now thinking of getting the 8500 instead of the V1 because of the Shifter add-on for laser, which I have heard is REALLY good, and the state troopers in NJ are using laser now.
