I was driving down the parkway today, enjoying the sheer pleasure of snicking thru the gears. However, I found that the engine was so smooth and quiet, it was easy to neglect just how fast I was going.

Before I knew it, I was in 5th gear, hurtling toward some stopped cars up ahead at a red light. I was on them before I knew it. I saw them up ahead, but had no idea how fast I was approaching them.

There was no noise in the cabin to remind me of speed.

I noticed that when I first got the car. Hard to judge your speed when the ride's so smooth and quiet!

Exactly - especially on smooth, paved highways - 80 feels like 50! Its cool but it gets me nervous everytime I look down at the speedo - ANY tickets on my record would make my already highest insurance profile IN THE COUNTRY (single, under 25 male in New Jersey) skyrocket so I'm always extra cautious.
