Deleted User	Way To Go, FlatBlackPiece!! 100 MPH! I Also Wish I Lived In Your Area. Where Did You Take Your Geo Metro To 100? Did You Go On The WINNEMUCCA TO THE SEA HIGHWAY?? Or On The 97? Just Wondering. I Think US 97 Would Be Easier Since It's Straighter For The Most Part North Of Klamath Falls. The WINNEMUCCA TO THE SEA HIGHWAY (OR 140) Is Too Windy And Twisty To Get It Up To That Speed IMO.

I get in the high 30's because I keep doing 70-75 on the norm ! yea I can get 40+ when I drive 65 or less but I have to keep up with traffic in CA. These people around here are speed crazy . If the posted limit is 65 they're doing 70-75 and the cops are like right next to you not even flinching. GO FIGURE ?

Deleted User	Yeah, NOJRS! How's About I-80 At Around MM 21, 23, 25 Or So, Just West Of Fort Bridger And The TA Truckstop. Man What A Hell Of A DOWNHILL SWOOP!! KILLER!! And Anyone Who Hasn't Driven The WINNEMUCCA TO THE SEA HIGHWAY--Oooh! You're Missing Out Big Time!! I LOVE THIS ROAD!! The Section Of Nevada 140 Inbetween US 95 And DENIO JUNCTION (Pronounced DEE-nee-oh) There's 4 Separate Straightaways Where One Can Take Their GEO METRO To 100 MPH. But Watch Out!! This Is OPEN RANGE COUNTRY! I Had 4 COWS Purposedly RUN OUT IN FRONT OF MY GEO METRO!! I Almost Hit Them With My Car!! VERY OUCH!!

Deleted User	The Only Time I've Ever EVER Had My '90 4Dr. To 100 When I Was Going Down I-15 Down CAJON PASS S/B!! Hesperia/Summit Inn To Cajon Junction/CHP Weigh Station, Towards SAN BERNARDINO!! Man I Had My Car To About 105 MPH And Was LOVIN' IT!! Obviously, At 286,000+ Miles And With It's PARKINSON'S DISEASE, The Best That I Can Hope For Nowadays Is 60-65 MPH!!
