Especially when they were made back when 55mph was the sweet spot to gear for due to regulations.

People drive a lot faster now than they probably should and I like being able to pass people who are doing 80+ mph and on their cell phone at the same time.

Offensive driving has kept me out of accidents way more than defensive driving would have. After all, if you think someone might wreck, do you want to be in front of them or behind them when they wreck?
