[s. Also for those brief spurts where you are going 150, you increase your risk of tickets and increased insurance.[/QUOTE]
I think most Sports car (Z) owners like Brief spurts of speed. (like a brisk pass)
I agree the increasing risks make them more and more infrequent.
Wish we had a few hwys with a higher speed limit or an autobahn.

^If we had autobahn here, I'm pretty sure we'd have a lot more accidents and deaths that's speed related due to the type of drivers here. Most of them don't even pay attention...
Even China's balling with their own type of "autobahn". 220km/h on a 120km/h past a cop? They don't give a ****. Pass on shoulder? Don't give a ****. Accident %? A LOT lower than Toronto. Just the differences between two worlds...

if we had an autobahn equiv. here, you'd see all the stupid ricers trying to top speed their stock civics and then lose control and cause a huge wreck ..
.. then again, that may be good cuz it'll kill off all the stupid kids

The litre or liter (see spelling differences) is a unit of volume. There are two official symbols: the Latin letter L in lower (l) and upper case (L). The litre appears in several versions of the metric system; although not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI. The international unit of volume is the cubic metre (m³). One litre is denoted as 1 cubic decimetre (dm³).
Origin
The word "litre" is derived from an older French unit, the litron, whose name came from Greek via Latin. The original metric system used the litre as a base unit.
Definition
A litre is defined as a special name for a cubic decimetre (1 L = 1 dm³). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m³ (exactly). So 1000 L = 1 m3

The definition of geek has changed considerably over time, and there is no longer a definitive meaning. The terms nerd and dork have similar meanings as geek, but many choose to identify different connotations amongst the three terms, although the differences are disputed. In a 2007 interview on The Colbert Report, Richard Clarke said the difference between nerds and geeks is "geeks get it done".[3] Julie Smith defined a geek as "a bright young man turned inward, poorly socialized, who felt so little kinship with his own planet that he routinely traveled to the ones invented by his favorite authors, who thought of that secret, dreamy place his computer took him to as cyberspace -- somewhere exciting, a place more real than his own life, a land he could conquer, not a drab teenager's room in his parents' house".[4]
Other definitions include:
A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media. Most geeks are adept with computers, and treat the term hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves.
A person who relates academic subjects to the real world outside of academic studies; for example, using multivariate calculus to determine how they should correctly optimize the dimensions of a pan to bake a cake.
A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.
A person with a devotion to something in a way that places him or her outside the mainstream. This could be due to the intensity, depth, or subject of their interest. This definition is very broad but because many of these interests have mainstream endorsement and acceptance, the inclusion of some genres as "geeky" is heavily debated. Persons have been labelled as or chosen to identify as mathematics geeks, engineering geeks, sci-fi geeks, computer geeks, various science geeks, movie and film geeks (cinephile), comic book geeks, theatre geeks, history geeks, gamer geeks, music geeks, art geeks, philosophy geeks, literature geeks, and roleplay geeks.
