	Just out of curiosity, how fast have most of the people on net.auto
driven their cars?  I assume there is an interest in high speed driving from
the fact that I see a lot of top speed claims for writer's cars.

	Between speed traps and the lack of nice straight roads, I rarely
get over 120 mph in the NJ & NY (Westchester) area.  135 is about the best
I've ever done, though I was still accellerating when I had to stand on the
brakes. 

	I'd like to hear if there are places in the midwest or wherever 
that you can freely stand on it and "see what she'll do."
