Yeah! In the video I saw turn signals being used and the right lane wasn't completely full of people driving well under the speed limit.

I am well aware where he is from. It says so in the comments of the video. Like it or not ... I am allowed my opinion on the topic and I don't really need to say anymore as I think I have made my opinion very clear. You (or anyone else) however do not have to agree with me.

Yeah, you're allowed your opinion but remember you're commenting on a thread where the title is, How fast you got your Yaris to go. WTF? Really?

And if it bothers you that much why are you even commenting on thread that bothers you so much, where the main point is top speed.

If the main point was really Top Speed then it should be top speed being gained safely not something based on what is most likely being done on public roadways.

I agree with edmscan in this case. I have been in and driven in many countries around the world. Some folks may complain about how terrible drivers are in NA, but really we can't hold a candle to the insanity in other countries. You would never catch me driving over 100mph on busy roadways let alone at night. Hell, even on the I-95 corridor from Houlton, ME to Bangor, ME (Google Map/Sat it) with the little traffic it has I am perfectly happy cruising at the 75-85mph that folks drive.

As for closing the thread I actually agree with why? about closing it. It only promotes silliness on the roadways. "Gee, someone said they were able to go xxx mph on the Yaris forum so I am going to try and beat it!" Universally stupid.
