In Atlanta, you have to be over 70 mph on our highways so my Mirage is constantly @ 3k rpms. Hope the little 3A92 can hold up lol.
I wish someone had told me this before I drove through Atlanta the last 10 times on I-85 / I-285 / I-75 in my Plymouth Scamp at 55 - 60 mph...

Oh, I realize. But I don't give a ... care. I'm not running 4,000+ rpm in my Scamp with a 360 V8 just to keep up with traffic. To be honest, I've had 0 problems running 55 to 60 mph through Atlanta in the Scamp. Instead I get waves and thumbs up etc.
I just stay over to the right and out of the way as much as possible and have had no problems. In my other vehicles I run 70 - 75 through Atlanta. But what's really scary is, my Honda Rebel 250 will only do 72 mph. And I can be rolling 72 mph on that thing through Atlanta and have a Malibu, Chrysler 200, or V6 Charger go slamming by paint-striping me at 95 mph, with a tiny little head barely able to see over the steering wheel and weaving through traffic, on 3 "rims," one spare wheel on a donut, 3 maypops and probably with no insurance either. Now that is scary.
