Anybody drive on I95 in central Florida? 75 is in the far right slow lane. If you are not doing 80 or above you better be out of the left lane.

Well, I have to say that I'm rather disappointed with the way some of you have reacted to my video.

I honestly thought that this forum would be more accepting of me trying to share my excitement with the progress that my car's made.

I love when people post videos of their cars, I thought you guys would enjoy it.
Don't get upset, as I stated before I think people were having some fun. Just keep it safe.

I see the opposite. I drive in SoCal at 75 and I am blowing peoples doors off. With a few people going faster then me. I also just put it on cruise which seems to be Cali's problem because they can't choose one speed. Bunch of yo-yos.

Reckon I'll post up a video of Gollum II, from ... hmm... let's say 35-55. I'm not sure my current camera mount could handle the G forces however...

:-)

I'm not sure it would be a short video either...

Cheers,

Charlie

75MPH is considered "street racing"...???

heck, i occasionally hit 80MPH in the RIGHT lane on my commute to work......and people are literally doing 90+MPH in the left hand lanes.

I84 in NY/PA 80 is slow. I95 in central Florida you better be doing more then 80 in the left lane or you will have people up your bumper.
