Even funnier considering Toyota, Honda and Subaru's continued dedication to very small, very fast cars.

One really difficult thing is to drive in different states (to your own) and be unsure of how tightly the limit is enforced. Are the people exceeding the posted limit risking a fine or is that the 'de facto' limit that you can get away with travelling at?
There are noticeably different driving cultures within any country not just across international borders. It's interesting to observe if you look for it.
