As Jennifer is a citizen of New Jersey, I frequently find myself on the Garden State
Parkway.
The posted speed limit for the part of the parkway that I drive on is for the most part 65 miles per hour.
I drive a 1990 Toyota Camry which at this point has 123,000 miles on it. It's a wonderful car but I've learnt to live without certain amenities like interior lights, a working interior door handle on the driver's side, and a missing hub cap.
The drivers in New Jersey think nothing of passing me at speeds ranging from 80 and above. Personally, I feel anything above 75 on the Toyota is liable to break the sound barrier.
I've gotten used to the ride and coming to the conclusion that the further south you go, the less food choices you have in the service areas. It's not like in the northern part of Jersey there is gourmet fare, but your choices decline appreciably to basically a Burger King in the Atlantic City service area.
I'm thinking of getting a racing helmet and painting my car to reflect a sponsor.
Would anybody like to sponsor me on my races on the Garden State? Maybe I can run into (not in my car) that Danika lady?

Dude, it is time to get a new car. Maybe one of those Hummers?
Damn, Mr. Fab stole my comment! Except for the Hummer part... SO not good in da city ;-)
But it's only got 123,000 miles on it?
