    Why do we make street legal cars that can even go 90? I once went 155 on a Yamaha R6. Why can we buy stuff that can even go that fast? Seems like a huge waste tbh.

      Why limit it? We have plenty of highways where that’s a perfectly acceptable speed. Very long, very straight, and no turning traffic.

    Sounds like it’s an alternative to license suspending so that you don’t cripple lower income people by revoking transportation.

      As one of those “lower income” people… I’ve never really been a speedster on the road…

      Excess speed eats into fuel efficiency - big time.

      Who’s blowing gas money like a sailor on shore leave with fuel as expensive as it is right now? Morons, that’s who.

      Fuck that.

        No, it is an entertainment expense to me and therefore not moronic. Just because you cannot afford it, does not mean others cannot.
