@moonbus saidAround 2002 I was a sales rep and had recently picked up my MK4 VW Golf GTi. It was metallic silver/grey with light grey leather seats and had purple dash lighting. When accelerating I used to crack the window to listen to the turbo whistling. I loved it.
Some years ago, my best buddy from high school days came over to Europe for a visit. We hired a 911 Porsche Targa and went blasting up and down the Autobahn, from Hamburg to Basel. I know some stretches with little traffic and no speed limit (there are many stretches with speed limits, but some have a *minimum* speed in the left lane of 80 kph & Truck-Verbot). We took that Po ...[text shortened]... or e-vehicles, showers for truckers), and I can sleep in my VW van there overnight on long journeys.
Anyway I was travelling home from a sales event down the M6 toll road and around 00:30 hrs, no traffic, no buildings perfect road. Got it up to 120 mph and them lost my bottle due to potential police. The strange thing was that it didn’t really feel that fast as it was dark, no other traffic and no buildings to give perspective.
These days I get more anxious doing 30 mph down some of the rural lanes where I live; on-coming idiots, animals and lots and lots of potholes.

Over here, even old-school bicyclists mostly riding on the sidewalks have to watch out for silent youngsters coming up from behind on e-bikes or stand-up scooters.
Even in the 21st Century, life seems to become even more dangerous day-by-day, for reasons some might have felt left far behind, and new reasons besides.
Well, at least I haven't been executed in a stadium for posting here, for the sake of educating the teenagers in whatever so-called society.
@Kewpie saidMchill is an abbreviation for a large hill in North Seattle. It wasn't designed to say anything about me.
Kewpie is a type of doll manufactured in the 1920s, still around when I was a small child. I'm a left-brained introvert with a common surname and wanted my username to be easily found in lists. At that time Kewpie mayonnaise wasn't known in Australia so it's irrelevant. So I'm an elderly female, that's all it says about me.
