Oh fuck yea.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

There were times I pulled on to the highway and literally didn’t see another car behind or in front of me, either side of the highway. After days of this how could you not?

 

[Rent Free]

Was fucking awesome. For a while I drove around Wash DC like I AM LEGEND!



cant anymore.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

My old man was commuting from the south side to Arlington Heights during the beginning of China virus....and was setting his cruise control at 100mph on 90/94 everyday.

Not to mention we went on that cruise from Schaumburg to the loop in April and we passed a cop on the way down with all of us doing 75 - 100mph. He barely looked at us....

150 mph blasts down 90 heading West for street tuning purposes

 

[DanJ]

30 over had me in the far right lane

I was just thinking yesterday that I should probably flush the brake fluid in my daily driver because I've gotten it hot enough to experience brake fade a few times during my work commute.

OK Mr. Ported blower guy. We get it. You had to tune your car again due to the ported blower and smaller pulley. We get it!

The police straight up said they're not going to do anything, it was a green light. I was able to get from Winfield/Yorkville in about 13min. It was just semi trucks and a few cars for a while there. Construction zones average speed if it wasn't a truck had to have been 85mph. Eventually the state troopers would sit on the side of the road with their lights on, but still didn't do anything, people were still blasting past them at 90+. It was like running in advanced group at the track and now it's like I'm back in beginner, bunch of idiots.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

The outbound Stevenson at 6am was fucking nuts. I’d be getting blown past driving 80-85 in the center lane. I bet I had someone pass me at least twice per day doing over 100mph

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Hell yeah

 

[J-LO]

will not confirm or deny being out on the corn run with the P car

 

[DanJ]

Peak lockdown I was making it from Aurora to Canal and Roosevelt in 40 minutes at 7am.

88 westbound is still a NASCAR track most days. Traffic was easily cruising at 100+ in the left lanes back in June-July.

yup. 23 or 26 over being a misdemeanor is the only thing keeping me law abiding.

 

[Stink Star]

Even on rt14 between Woodstock and crystal lake the normal speeds were 75-80 in a 45 zone. It was glorious

 

[ChrisRac]

Highways out here, real drivers don’t go slower than 80. I usually average 80-90 and still get passed.

 

[AWDCD3]

90-100 on I290 on my 4:30am commute to work was great.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Ah Yes....

 

[Fish]

I heard the average time from Addison to Vernon Hills was cut from 30-40 to 20-25 during that time.
