New car speeding

[ZombieFriedNuts]

I have a new car (I say new, it is new in the sense that I haven’t had it for long) I have never driven a car that doesn’t vibrate at 60mph (speed limit on most UK roads). So I’m driving along and start to think to myself this feels quite fast so I look down at the speedometer and realize I’m going 70mph so I brake a bit, lucky for me that there was no one behind me.

I run into this problem whenever I get the tires balanced and front end aligned. The car rides so smooth, it's easy to think you are driving slower.

My car is certainly not a sports car (just a crappy Corolla) but I also have problems with accidentally speeding, even when I am in the city (I have caught myself hitting 45 in a 35- boy is that scary! ). It just drives too damn smoothly; it has really well-balanced wheels.

I have driven my little sports sedan at ridiculous speeds. There's a stretch of highway near my home that is flat, empty, and straight as an arrow. You can see any cop from a mile off. Once I wondered to myself, What would this car feel like at 100 miles per hour? That was fun. Later on I got to thinking, What would this car feel like at 110 miles per hour? That was even more fun.

I've only gotten one speeding ticket, and that was largely because I was sick, not paying attention to anything but staying on the road, and didn't see the state trooper making his quota. The fine was so absurdly high that it made sense to engage a lawyer to bat the ticket away.

Lawyers. They're possibly an even lower life-forms than politicians, but they have their uses. I just wouldn't want my daughter dating one. And I wouldn't want one living in my neighborhood. Frankly, I'd prefer it if they didn't live in my town. Useful, but scummy.

I don't think that the car I'm going to receive when I pass my test can go up to 60mph...
Nor can it drive in the cold (that is, around about 0 degrees and lower)...
Nor can it drive without a disconcerting noise resonating throughout the vehicle...
Nor can it drive uphill very well...

That's it, I am your agent.

On Topic

I never driven a car properly. I just started them and drove in my dad's lap when I was a small kid.

Ya-ya. Deep in your heart you're lusting for a '69 VW van.

This 95 Crysler Condord that is 'my' car vibrates at any speed. Sometimes the engine klunks. Sometimes it dies outright, but only just after starting.

I love speed. On my island there's a nice strech of highway going from Waimea to Kona which has no stop lights or signs and is rarely patrolled by cops. I drive a light truck so I don't go too fast but it's great when I get up 75 mph for a bit. Usually cruising at 65 mph though.

I've got a '75 MGB I'm trying to get going but I can't find a damn title for it. It'll be great if I get on it on the road though.

My current mode of transportation does not go over 60mph.

Still enough to get a ticket, if any cops patrolled the countryside.
