There are roads out in Nevada that beg for it. Waterman has a picture on RT140 between Lakeview and Winnemucca. You can't see the end of it and I can attest to it. Someplace like that might be interesting.

Prime speed to engage the flux capacitor and become a time traveler or astronaut.

309 KM = 192MPH if anyone is interested....typical Autobahn speeds (nah). One fellow was driving an Audi R12 in France and was clocked in excess of 300KM which was the limit of the radar unit being used when he was timed. Lost the car...$173,600 gone.

They drive a lot faster over there. I was on the autostrada doing 170KPH when a lambo passed me. He must have been doing 250kph. It's not like the states.
