Lol well in all fairness I wasn't aware of it until a friend brought it up today.

Hard to believe they could average 90+ (requiring much cruising well over 100mph) with all of the traffic, potholes, speedtraps, cops in unmarked cars and roadway monitoring out there. Hell, in Jersey you can only cruise at 100+ with State trooper escorts and the result is big trouble anyway!
Truly remarkable and crazy - can't wait for the movie!

You can buy a thermal camera, they're not cheap. Some Caddy's (?) have this as an option.
