Never got caught thankfully, but I had some strange looks at the tollbooths from time to time.
I made it from Battlecreek, MI to Cleveland in just under 2 hours. No joke. Was going 100 to 110km the entire way. I even hit some 15 minute bullshit traffic about 30 mins outside of Cleveland . Talk about dumb but man it was fun.

The cops are usually pretty bad on I-80, but the troopers will be out in force all of May which is almost over thank god, but they'll be out a lot in June as well. Some sort of crackdown on irresponsible driving. Not so much speeding, but the illegal lane changes, following too closely, wreckless op. kinda things. I guess Ohio is already above last years amount of fatal accidents which was close to a record high I believe and we're hardly halfway through the year.

What can ya do? I hate it the most when some rust bucket doing 90+ flies by me. In no way is that even close to safe. Esp. when the shocks are shot and it looks like the car is floating . A BMW doing 90 is a whole different world then other cars going 90 IMO.
