Speaking Of Internal Combustion...
A stretch of highway in Texas is rolling out an 80MPH speed limit. You can almost hear the cries of anguish from the greenies, even though it only affects 400 miles of desolate road that is very thinly traveled. I think this is a sensible move, for it just recognizes what people are probably already doing. If only lawmakers could apply common sense standards to other types of regulation.

Time for USA to have its own version of "No Speed Limit Autobahn?" May not be a bad idea out west. On the other hand, as an ex member of the Rescue Squad I do shudder at the prospect of >100 mph crashes. I've seen quite a few at 70 mph and they ain't pretty.
Keep those seat belts on folks. It's how NASCAR drivers walk away from hitting the wall at 200 mph.
