Having power and using full tilt power all the time is not what I mean! Cars can top 100 mph pretty easy (even Prius- remember the chase?). With gravity alone that EV in my avatar almost hits 50 mph once (that is why I took it apart- way too fast for me). Hauling stuff in my trailer keeps me at about 10 mph, and when I haul TVs or computers I go 5 max mph. Between tree roots and those hidden patches things can get nasty- FAST! A nice "new" road with no holes or patches that I am familiar when I am joyriding is just too much of a temptation for me!
