Yea, but in Europe, there are other cars doing 140 around you
If you're the lone ranger on the highway doing 140 in traffic, you'll look like a dick (true story).
I'm all for "driving it as the dr. intended" when the conditions are right, and so far, everyone that has made that argument has preceded it with "when there's no one else around"... basically saying... "if the highway is in the same state as an empty racetrack then.. " well of course! go for it!
...anddddd driving is definitely a privilege.

Can we reinstate the 'inexcusable' statement? Drunk driving is not cool!
