Reasons I don't speed

1) Bad front shocks, small bumps can get big. Never mount nitro shocks shaft down again....
2) Inaccurate Speedo, I don't know how fast I'm really going. I just know 100 is roughly 70 mph and that's all I normally do. Unless I turn on the GPS
3) No tach, if I choose to speed in third, I'd have no idea how fast she's spinning. Though, I can listen to it.
4) Gas money
5) A loud, bright orange truck, does tend to get attention enough at 65. A big orange truck with the engine running hard, gets even more. The police would love me.
