Someone: "Why were you going 100mph!!, there are families traveling on the roads. Obey the speed limit.!!"

You: "It was on an open highway with no traffic and a straightaway."

Someone: "This is not acceptable!! You could have killed someone"



Yeah going 100mph is pretty stress free. My old 2008 LS460 rwd felt pretty planted at high speeds. A radar detector is a must.
It was also quiet doing the triangle window trim upgrade, silicone paste treatment on all the door seals

Never forget the time my wife and I were driving back from Birmingham on a Sunday. It was open highway as far as the eye could see with no visible cars or exits for miles. My wife had her eyes closed as I slowly crept up the speedometer on my 08 LS460. When I got it up to 115, my wife turned to me with one eye open and said, "Ok, how fast are you going?" lol. I laugh about it still.
