>Get your speedo and your head calibrated. If you run over a small cat at that speed you have some serious problems and I bet you don't have a fuel cell, cage, ambulance standing by, blah blah. Hey, I don't want to start a flame here, but .....

...Don't want to start a flame war here, but on the right road, in the right conditions this is very safe. 280 is such a road- in the right places, 4 lanes wide and very straight. It is bumpier in some places than the autobahn, but in others it is actually better, with less traffic. 160 on the autobahn is totally normal if you have the right car. Sure, if you hit a cat you could have problems... how many cats have you hit on the highway? Under the wrong conditions or with the wrong car it's totally lethal, but I see the far side of 160 many times a week these days, and it doesn't even get the heart racing any more. And I'm not Joe racer around here- everyone else with a car capable is doing the same thing.

Besides, he was really doing about 130, and badly needs a speedo check.
