Adnan K. Mehmood ....says he has driven his 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster faster than 191 mph a number of times on freeways. "I want to go to 200 mph," Mr. Mehmood says.

Well then how about renting some time at a racetrack? 200mph on freeways is more than slightly irresponsible.

If Adnan wants to kill himself driving like an idiot, it’s fine with me. I object to his endangering my family by doing so on the public roads.

Or take it to Germany for a trip on the Autobaun. If you can afford the car, you should be able to afford to ship it over there for your 200mph vacation.

Bill Cosby spoke about 200mph. I hear his Shelby Cobra scared him so much; he parked it.

BTW: The History Channel had a show on the Autobaun last weekend. They had a Porsche with a two man camera crew crammed into it. They were doing 212MPH... at night!

Sweet road though. 27inches of rod bed; meticulously maintained, less than a 7% grade change, and long sweeping turns (long straight lines lull you to sleep). And a drivers license requires personal training, and the license itself is about $1500 dollars. Tailgating can bring a $20K fine. Yep, you read that correctly. 20 thousand dollar fine for tailgating!

Exactly. Take it to the track, attend some track driving schools and track events and learn how to actually drive that Lamborghini the way it was meant to be driven. The regional chapters of the Porsche and BMW car clubs put on some excellent events, for example. If you can afford a Lambo, you can afford to take it to the track.

Certainly beats taking that expensive, beautiful piece of automotive art onto a freeway, flooring the gas pedal, endangering every other driver out there, and wrecking the car like a complete tool.

For the cost of these cars, they could filed a racing team for an entire season in some pretty damn cool cars.

Most of these dopes hardly knw how to properly shift the cars, let alone drive them. Andy jackass can hit 150 on a highway in a realtively nie car, but to race is a whole other ball game. That requires REAL skill. I tried, and I don’t have it, despite trying for many many years. The good ones are few and far between, and it’s not likely these rich dinks have it.

And wait until you see where he will probably do it: I-95 in south Florida.

I-95 is five, in some places seven, lanes wide, flat and straight. People kill themselves on it every week. It’s like they’ve decided, “Well, today’s the day,” and they turn left at 70 and eat the center divider. I think I was a lot safer weaving traffic on 95 to get to Newark Airport. People in Florida can not drive.
