rh71 is on a distinguished road
I've paid my speed tax

Anyone else? I have a 3.0 and while it doesn't get to 60 about 1.4 seconds faster like the 4.8, the I6 still moves it swiftly and smoothly. I join another highway and the 2 right lanes are bit congested so I easily accelerate it into the left lane... completely clear so I'm moving along passing everyone and less than a mile is a downhill section... yup, a black menacing Dodge Charger sits on the roadside and here I am without a radar/laser detector. 75 in a 50. It sure as sh!t should be higher than 50 maximum but whatever, I guess I'll just pay the $195 (11-20mph over is the same price, coincidentally). The cop also asks why I'm doing 75 with 2 small children in the back. Umm, 75 is not 90 and that's just passing speed on a typical highway which this was - I didn't say it but was thinking it.

Anyway, my question is, how do you people in the 4.8s and 35d's not get busted because it's not easy keeping from opening her up even once in a while.
