Used to own a Porsche... Also had the speeding tickets to prove it...
Top ticket was for 154 in a 55 -- apparently he clocked me when I was
slowing down for a curve...

These days, most of the vehicles that I drive, I don't have to worry
about them scraping bottom on a speed bump... Well, except my sport
bike... I've had it up to 140 and it was still accelerating quite
nicely... Yeah, had to slow up for a curve on US-151 somewhere between
Marion and Monticello, IA...
