must see pic of speedometer...going fast
#26
i've taken pics while driving before. i took lots of pics to keep from falling asleep while driving back from vegas. course i wasn't doing 115. . but i have taken the jetta to about 140-150MPH before. it was pretty stable. course not as stable as a 911. hehe 150MPH on a 911 felt like 60MPH.

For South Florida that is just keeping up with traffice on the way to the keys on I-75 in the Doral area. I can't think of the number of times I drove 100-110 when I had my S2000. Since we moved to Texas it is a different story the speed limit, is the limit especially in the cities.

Drive your car how you want and enjoy the hell out of it.

I remember when I had my S2000, I followed break in properly and never lost a drop of oil. I knew others that redlined a lot during break in and then bitched about losing a quart every 1000 miles.
Hopefully the little Fit engine (which I swear was swiped from a Harmony self-propelled) breaks in well with stress.
