As I move to the States ( Boston ) this year I wonder how you guys cope with the speed limit. Already in Switzerland I have major problems to stick to 120 km/h on the autobahn. I do 140 km, but in the USA ??? Do you stick to it or do you use radar detectors ? Are there race tracks where you digest your adrenalin ? Are there Porsche clubs organizing events where you can drive Prorsche like ? Also is safety in a CAB a problem in urban environement like Boston? What is the opinion of the US rennteamers ? Please advise. Thank you.

One state, namely Montana, has parts that do not have a speed limit, or so I've been told.

Another thing to note: drunk driving laws and attitudes are much more relaxed than in much of Europe and driving while 'tipsy' much more accepted. Boston is certainly no exception to this, believe me!

I think you got it backwards. DYI is much less accepted in the USA than in Europe - zero tolerance is the rule, as it should be.
