Lastly, with my W-rated tires and $1000 suspension, I'm going to tool up the road at whatever rate I please, and I'm not going to hurt myself or others. (I only tear out if the road is basically deserted, so get off yer high horse.)

I have no problem with that as long as you recognize jujus (and everyone elses) right to life. Speed limits are generally too low, especially in the West and most interstates. Difference in speed is where the danger lies, so the state makes roads more dangerous when posted limits cause law abiding drivers to drive far below the average. Dangerous drivers are the ones who piss me off and they cannot be easily identified with traffic cameras and what not. You know the types tailgaters, folks that weave through traffic, kids playing traffic tag... As annoying as tw could be he referred to driving as a team sport, there is some kernal of truth to that.
