In urban areas, driving a Model "A" much at all is handicapped by several factors: 1) advent of the mammoth SUV, 2) advent of the mammoth pick-up truck, 3) millennial drivers.

Anyway congratulations to the members who have fine-tune their cars to original specs and can cruise faster that us 40-mph'ers.
I live in the country about 35 miles north of Charlotte, NC. I built a car barn that can hold 8 cars and it has a lift so I guess I fit the profile of what you said above.

But we still have stupid millennial drivers. Just tonight I was driving on a rural country road with a speed limit of 45. I has a young girl talking on her phone riding my A$$ and I was doing 55. Guess you just cannot fix stupid.
