The M5 is in perpetual flux involving traffic cones, tractors, combine harvesters and speed cameras. One has to be careful :smilie4:
I think something is a little off, here...:huh:Quote:

I was going a little fast. (I can only imagion what it must have been like in my mom's truck, there was an emergency with my dad getting injured, so she was in a hurry)Quote:

It may be an even better time due to the fact that the way I go is twisty, cant go as fast as on the interstate. I was going 110 a good portion of the time in the flats (good thing there was no cops out) can't testify for what my mom said for her time, I wasn't born yet, they were also living a little closer at the time, but I still think it was faster than me. I guess there is a reason that her cars always catch a nickname with the word bullet in it- silver bullet, speeding bullet, ect. well gotta go, driving home now, probably take 4-5 hours, my truck isn't as fast as my car was. (tops out at 95, don't like to push 85, plus I gotta stop more.)
127mph =~204kph?

That's quite the truck that'll average in excess of 160 mph.
Er- I said 2.5 hours- 4:00 to 6:45 with a fifteen minute break- total time on the road- 2.5 hours. that is an average of 100mph. of course the first 150 miles were not on the interstate and there where some parts that are twisted as fuck, plus passes and such. most of the Flat stuff was at 110.Quote:
