I call BS... 149...??
Er... was that Top up or Top down..??
With a 155MPH published Top Speed on a new car, I find it very difficult you hit 149 in a 12 y.o. car. 'Course if you were going downhill w/ Hurricane Katrina behind you, on AvGas, maybe.
And, that musta been some pull considering the 1/4 mi. speed is only 98.8mph, you would have had time to finish your sandwich given the near 1/2 mi. run it would take to achieve that speed, if even possible.
Personally, I'd have the speedo checked.
And, I have relatives in OH, there musta been a 2fer1 at the Donut shop to keep the staties from catching you.
You jab at the older guys for driving with some sanity. Yea, we all did it... in cars that were half as safe as a Boxster... we were foolish... and LUCKY!
You're still young and stupid, and if you live through it, someday you'll know what they mean.
Kill Stories are like Fish Tales... and Kill Stories on the Internet are like Whale Tales... They get larger with time/distance.
Be thirsty my friend!
