When the Foothill (210) freeway opened in La Crescenta, California, I too my new Trans Am out for a spin to see what it would do.
I checked the rear view and proceeded to top out at 137 mph.
That’s the fastest I have ever gone.
I was a hellion behind the wheel when I was young.
Today I drive the posted speed limit. I have for many years.
I drive in the number two or three lanes, and just drive relaxed.
In my youth I drove around with a knot in my stomach most of the time. At one point I asked myself, why are you doing this? If you drive the speed limit you don’t have to look behind you to see if there any cops. You can just relax.
Tried it. Liked it. There was no going back.
I drive like an old man now. Hmm.
“Today I drive the posted speed limit. I have for many years.”
Good lord man! You must have traffic backed up fro miles!
