Just wondering.

I go about 20 and my parents say I'm going way too fast. D:

Also, if you feel like it, post said speed and what type of car you have.

I'm in a little PT Cruiser.

I do about 15-20. Makes for a nice and easy downshift into second when you come out of it. My parents think it's too fast as well.

Yeah, 15 or so here also. When I started out I would try to go through them at like 25 MPH and I'd fly everywhere haha

I was going around a turn at 20 km/h with and extra 2 tons of weights sitting in the box of my work truck and made the tires squeal.

edit: so yeah, about 6-10 mph.

I was driving a Lexus "LUV." Doesn't corner very well, and the road was roughly 10 feet across.

This is going to sound slow, but probably no higher than 10 MPH. You have to understand, though, that my car is older than time and it handles like a boat. I do occasionally try to take 90 degree turns at around 15 or above, but my car fights the turn so it isn't even close to a right angle. So basically I won't do that if there's any oncoming traffic.

I need a new car so bad.

I don't check.

Someone I know goes around them at speeds that make me wonder why his tires don't leave the ground. I want to Darlington in his car and wished I'd stayed at home.

20 is about standard if there's no car in that left lane.

If there is I drop it down to 15 because I'm tired of fuckers honking at me.

It's not something people hear about.

Depends. The way people drive here in Virginia, you take turns pretty fast. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll get hit.

10. I could go faster, but why chance it it in a high-clearance 4x4?

If you're going to go much faster than 20, it better be 60 or so. At least that way you have a chance of rolling enough times to land right side up.

And let's face it, that would be fucking awesome.

Depends. On the bike 50mphish depending on the pavement/smooth factor.

In the TA.. maybe 30-40 if I'm going fast but 20-25 if I'm just normal driving.

Everyone knows turn lanes and escape lanes are for speed races anyway.

And I have half a mind to go out and get a Jeep, although I'm certain I would pay for it later.

You'd have to eventually. Otherwise it's stealing.
