If you went from your point of entry where you received your toll stub to your exit point where you paid in less time than the miles between the point indicated, you got the "warning". They never did implement it with fines or anything. This was back in the '70's or '80's, I think.

No other cars around, sober as a judge, just curious how much speed I could stand without getting nervous. The impressive thing was the car wasn't even breathing hard at ~4000 rpm.

128 is nothing, my '73 can even do better than that (135-140). The '97 does way better, I've had it up over 150 and there was still plenty of power left at that, and it seems like it's glued to the road (unlike the '73). Of course, that's all theoretical, you know. <s>
