I like topping a hill and looking down a road for 10 miles or so and then setting the cruise at 55 mph with Sammy on the mp3 "I can't drive 55"

OK 80 mph in your case. Still far way from max but I can care less. If you wanna up it then do it. It's cool.

When I was going to school in Spain our school bus would run 130 to 140 kph on the way to school and going home.
So I have always driven a little to fast here in the U.S. or almost everyone else drives a little slow.

And I'm from Germany, grew up there and drove way faster than your school bus. But you're right, it's funny what we have to deal with here 65 mph... LOL!!!

Exactly! What the speedometer says isn't necessarily what speed you're going when you consider speedometer error and tire diameter differences indicating a speed higher or lower than actual speed.
