On the #505 just south of the #5 in California, no other traffic visible. A BMW of some kind passed me when I was doing about 80. I passed him back. He passed me again with a smile. I was sure I had more top end and stepped on it. About to go by him I looked down & saw 140 and thought 'they will take my car from me for good' and eased off. Now I wish I had risked it for another 15 seconds. It had plenty left and the speed was hardly noticeable in the way it rode.

Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money.
