Gas filler door opens at 90+ mph

Why in the world are you going that fast?!?!? Highest speed limit in the US is 70

Nope 70 is NOTthe highest many states have 80 and 85 legal limit

I hate people who claim you should not go over the speed limits. I am sure these are the same people who drive in the left lane all the time as well. The speed limits are complete bullshit. If a 50K pound semi is allowed to drive 75, then why would that same apply to me in a RR or in my GT3 RS for that matter. Stupid and antiquated.

This is why I have a radar detector and drive whatever speed I feel is safe, usually quite a bit above the "speed limit."

Toll road in Texas has 85 mph, regular highways 75. But in Texas the speed limit is only a suggestion, most normal Texans use in as a minimum.

In Kentucky there is no fine unless you are doing 10 over on a limited access highway, so the speed limit on a 70mph interstate is really 79. The police are really unlikely to pull you over if there's no money to be made. Other roads can have fines for any amount over, but 5 over is usually no problem.

i was so glad when they raised the speed limit from 55. driving from corpus to houston was over 4 hours back then and now is around 3 hours flat

How did you get it up to 90? Every time I get to 88, I go...Back to the future!

I highly recommend you speedsters get a Valentine 1 gen. 2.

Radar detectors are still in use with Waze reporting? Growing up with them in early 90s 2000s i felt they beeped even when cops where not around...

Waze and google maps (Google owns Waze) both report police on highways. Waze is still better app for reporting but I have not received a speeding ticket in over 15 + years due to keeping my eye on waze and reporting from users.

Think of it as a speed brake like fighter jets have.

lot of places it’s 80 and 85 on a small stretch in texas

Maine speed limit is 80mph north of Bangor to the Canadian border on I-95

Those are illegal here in Va.

i heard you got ticketed for them in texas, back in teh day, if they were plugged in and on when the police walked up when you got stopped. i had one back in the 90s but it didn;t seem to work well so i gave up on it

The more sources of bogey identifiers the better. The V1 Gen. 2 has come a long way in filtering out false alarms.
