The problem is a potential of 'antique' cars getting legislated right off of the road.

There is nothing more aggrevating to JQ Public than to get behind ANY vehicle doing 50 in a 70 mph lane. Especialy on the I'state hiway. Or running the speed limit on two lane blacktop when everyone else is running 10mph faster. What are u going to do???? Call the Sherrif or something?

A couple of weeks ago i was on I40 near Bucksnort and traffic was heavy. Very rural I'state hwy. I was driving the Exec. Up in front of me about 1/2 mile was a very nice looking 66 Dodge convertible thus most likely with a big V8 running everybit of 50 mph. TRaffic had to merge and pass and it was a little bit of an aggrevation even for me. I tend to be couteous of vintage tin on the hwy. ESPECIALY since i was driving one too.
So here is a case of an "antique" car completely capable of running every bit 100 mph all day long but the owner too timid to drive it at the speed limit.

Stand up and sing speed limit legalities or any other good excuses. THat's fine. Just try to sing it to JQ Public and he just mite sing right back. We live in a real world.
