Wow... I was over 5k on the tach on 101 today.. That's equates to over
90!!!! And I could put my foot in it and it would accelerate!!! I
prolly shouldn't be going that fast on a month old engine. Oh.. I
passed an A on the shoulder with it's hood up. I was to many lanes over
and going to fast to stop. :-( I turned around and by the time I got
back it was gone. So it must not have been to serious.
