Who is taking this picture? Where are they sitting, who is driving?

When I took my picture, @ 125 mph, I was driving on a long, long straight road and used my cell phone's camera feature since it's small and easy to hold at that speed.

Brucelee: I think I read that the guy's wife took the picture while he drove it. He was just a few miles outside of his break in period when he pushed it up to the top like this.

Now I gotta do it, but it won't be an easy shot to get. The wife will not ride with me while I drive that fast. And I don't think I trust steering with my left knee to shoot the picture.

If you drive that fast and simply tell us so, we will believe it. You have credibility here!
