How Fast Do You Drive?

I don't know what it is with me, but I just can't help it, I just drive really fast on the freeways. It doesn't really matter what I drive, even when I had a Sentra GXE I was still touching speeds of 100MPH (when there wasn't too much traffic). The Audi is alittle quicker, so I'm hovering around speeds of 100MPH more often these days. So I was wondering how do you guys normally drive, I've seen a lot of EVOs on the freeways and you guys are straightflying , and you know who you are. So how fast do you drive?

Usually the speed limit +10 mpg. It's a little faster and you dont draw too much attention from the 5-0.

I usually obey speed limits. My town has WAY too many cops and our city council uses speeding tickets as a means of generating revenue. Luckily, on my days off, I head into the myriad amount of mountain roads that are usually empty and get my jollies out.

Its the weirdst thing with my old gti i use to drive like a jackass eveywhere. Now that i bought the evo i drive 65-70 on the highway and only open her up if an sti or modded car rolls up. I guess now that i have a fast car i have nothing to prove. just my 2 cents.

When I had my VR4 I broke 175 racing a C5 - now it's about 5 - 10 mph over the limit on the freeway and maybe + 5 on the streets.
