What a tool...
Kind of a tangent thought... I read somewhere that the US Interstate Highway system was designed to accomodate speeds up to 250mph (assuming the weather, road surface, vehicle, and driver arecapable) - does anyone know if that's true, or just as made-up as the bit about how supposedly every sixth mile of the Interstate is straight and level so as to be used as an emergency landing airstrip?

There is no way you can do 250mph on most parts of the HW. I could see 100-125mph.I have also have heard the landing strip before, seems somewhat legit.

Landing strip = fail
Just because it's been done before doesn't mean they were designed to be used as landing strips.
