I'd be very frustrated if I had my M3 here.

As a comparison, if I drove around at 10 over in NJ, I'd be in the slowest 25% percentile on the road most likely. I'm talking interstate driving here.

Don't take this as a critisism, I'm only trying to determine why there are so many speed limit obeying folks here. It's unusual in most of the rest of America.
Enforcement in Washington is much stricter than Oregon. I tend to be more cautious up there, but certainly not slow.
