Depends on where you are. The Germans drive those speeds every day. There is nothing intrinsically bad about going fast, you just need to do it under the proper conditions. 130mph in 65mph heavy traffic is stupid, 130mph on an empty highway is nothing to get excited about. 130+ on the Autobahn is the best reason to buy a new BMW.

All that said, while I had no issue with 135mph in my car in Germany, I doubt it has hit 100mph here in the states. I prefer to avoid riding in the back seat of police cars with my hands cuffed. An I like my stupid cheap insurance.
