I got caught near Albany(Coxsackie, NY) on the way to Buffalo by a light plane working with ground patrol.
What hurt was I was keeping pace with traffic!
But I was flattered that they needed the "air force" to bring me down!

Well in the Chicago a few years ago a guy got caught doin 160mph on Lake Shore Driver on some type of Honda sport bike. The dumb part was that he got away but decided to repeat the same run in the opposite direction! Thats when they got him.

If that city's name is pronounced the way it looks, it's just dripping with connotations! No pun intended.

I don't think the possible pronunciations nor the connotations are somewhere we need to go ...

Hwy.50 from Fallon, Nevada 250 desolate miles to Ely, Nevada with only 2 "towns" in between, Austin, pop.375 and Eureka, pop.655., sounds like some high-speed driving could be done for limited periods of time.

"Hwy.50 from Fallon, Nevada 250 desolate miles to Ely, Nevada"
 
I remember this strech better known as "Loneliest Road"...drove it in April '66...brings a little smile tho' when I think about it. I was driving a '66 VW Beetle....not exactly the kind of machine you'd bury the throttle on! Ha Ha! Fond memories of a 24 year old having a ball driving to California to look up old army buddies.

JD Power initial quality survey results are out... by liferules

Not surprisingly, Lexus won, again.
 
Surprising were the results of marked improvement in BMW, and the fact that Audi beat out Acura and Infiniti, contrary to people's opinions that Audi's aren't as reliable as those 2 makes (M owners, don't get all in a tiff, I know the initial reliability for the M's isn't yet in the mix...). Interesting nonetheless.

A couple of the N-S state highways within NV make US 50 look busy by comparison.
 
From Tonopah up through Austin on 376, then 305 up to Battle Mtn, then picking up 120 North of Winnemucca on NW into Oregon provides lots of solitary driving.
 
But, it's all good.

You realize that if stupidity were a crime, 98% of the world would be locked up.

The IQS study is about quality and less about reliability. I believe you can really only measure reliability over a longer term than the first 90 days of ownership, which is what the IQS measures.
 
take a look at the 5-year dependability studies. These studies reveal how reliable cars are.
