The GPS made me do it!

The Garmin that Joy got me has this cool feature where it keeps track of all sorts of stats for you. It measures your average speed, the amount of time you have spent moving, the amount of time you have spent stopped... and the top speed that it has traveled.


When I first checked this out I was at a measly 80.2 mph for a max speed. Of course I couldn't let this stand. So I found a lonely stretch of road and set a more respectable 92.1 mph as my max speed. It would have been faster but I'm in the truck and it has a governor on it. Joy's car doesn't though! I think I've gotten the car up to 110 if I remember correctly.


Well, we'll see this weekend if I can't up the stats a little bit. After that I'll have to rely on more devious means to get the speed higher... I wonder if I can get a good enough signal on an airplane? I have a trip to either Baltimore or San Mateo, CA coming up soon, we also have a trip to Japan planned out for next fall as well. It'd be nice to have a max speed of 560 mph to show off!
