That's exactly what I did lol, I went through Pennsylvania without speeding or seeing a single cop... but as soon as I hit Ohio and decide to have a lil fun, I whip by a cop literally 2 seconds later and facepalmed...

Also, years ago I drove 160 miles (of a 300 mile trip) through the mountains in a snow storm... when I finally made it home:

I survived by following in the tracks of 18 wheelers. They'd clear enough snow for me to be able to drive down the highway at around 35mph safely as long as I didn't stray outside of the tracks. Once I got off the highway I was on my own... in some places the snow was 6" deep and I was the only car forging through. I didn't do anything that would slow my momentum down, so I didn't stop for red lights or stop signs. Not that it mattered because I was the only car on the road... I should have stopped ahead of the storm and checked into a hotel room... afterall classes were cancelled the following day.

I guess I was lucky I caught the storms as they were coming down, rather than after 6 feet of snow lol... I just hope all that salt and dirt doesn't hurt my car...

It's too late to worry about that... Nissan paint and clear is notoriously terrible. You just have to learn not to stress about it too much.

I wish I could, I don't have access to a water hose at my apartment complex, I need to find a car wash or detailer...

We have to remember here that Virginia cops a much less forgiving than MD cops where traffic matters are concerned. In MD, 5-10 over is the flow of traffic.

m4a1mustang · 01-03-2012, 07:56 AM

There's always a bit of a shock once you cross into MD (no, not the shado shock... that's later) and realize that you need to be going 20-30 over to keep up on 495.
