    ...because its California

    or as they say on many gun forums: Kalifornia

    in Oregon its 55 because of all the mountains, which makes no sense because its 80 through the mountains in Wyoming (yet 75 in the valley)

    What's the matter. It doesn't matter how fast others go. They go as fast as they want because they can. Also, they know when it's safe to do so. It's just five over which isn't much.

    Just like Barney Fife said,when he got his motorcycle patrol vehicle. "You give them 5, they'll take 10, you give them 10,they'll take 20". Just human nature to see what you can get by with.....lol
