Andre 3000 speeding in GA

Apparently he was caught doing 109 in a 65 in his Porsche. I ask: Is that all? I had a rented Mercury Sable which I hit the rev or speed limiter on between Tuskegee and Montgomery. On the NJ Turnpike I hit 116 MPH in a rented Taurus and the best Andre could do in his Porsche was 103? Wimpy, Wimpy, Wimpy.

And dude if you're going to push that kind of speed you need to have a built in omni-directional radar/lidar detector/jammer. Seriously.

The dumb part though is the law that Ga wants to pass a law adding an additional $200 fine for speeds over 85 MPH. 85? Clearly these idiots haven't been to Michigan, where going 85 will get you passed by grannies.

Anyway the problem is not the extremely rare 1 ton crowd out there. It's the damn cell phone users. I mean I've seen fools driving through parking lots while texting! But in a country full of nervous nellies 85 MPH speed surcharges scores political points. Asking people to pay attention to their driving: not so much.
