Chicago cop: Do you know what the speed limit is here, son?
1rudeboy: This morning?
He just laughed and went to write me up.

I’ve had my ‘95 Porsche up to 135 MPH - twice.
The first time (solo), I thought my heart would jump out of my chest.
The 2nd time (not solo), I thought my wife would tear my heart out of my chest.

a trooper used a laser clock to read the speed of his 2012 Audi R8 at 139 miles per hour Nice, albeit high-maintenance, ride.

I know that stretch of road and have had my MB C230 Sport flirting with 100 MPH there but I wouldn’t want to do more, with the hills you’re always running out of road that is visible. The Conn. state police make a big deal out of speeding and have most of the residents of the state cowed, good for this guy for just going full throttle.

Thats a great old song, i always liked the lines:
With a four barrel carb and dual exhausts
With four-eleven gears you can really get lost
Got safety tubes, but I ain’t scared
The brakes are good, the tires fair

One of the best aspects of being stationed in Germany for 3 years was going wide open on the Autobahns. I bought a new SAAB Turbo before I left and would go up to 135 MPH routinely. It was a big let-down shipping that car home. Probably broke a 100 a few times in the states, but it wasnt worth the trouble getting caught...

I hit 120 in a 15 year old 1967 Buick Wildcat.
It started shaking like a paint mixer, so I backed off.

ROFLOL! Very funny, but yeah, a ticket and wait a second...
wow, can’t believe you or anyone else could say something
like that at a time like that. OTOH they can only ticket
you once for speeding. Again, very funny.

I got up to 140 in my Z-28 and it felt like I was gonna go air born any second, so I backed off.141 in my old turbo Porsche 944. Had a little more to go but started thinking about the old tires on it.

Hes got me; best I ever did was 115 in my 1972 Mustang Mach I on I 465 in the wee hours of the morning. I used to regularly bury the speedometer past 120mph in my old 1968 Chrysler Newport, and that was on a two-lane country highway. Yep, lucky to still be on this side of the sod.

Sorry guys...nothing but contempt for this punk.Mine is a contempt born of 1) having worked for almost 20 years in a large hospital's ER and,thus,having seen more dead,mangled kids who were in car accidents than my nightmares can handle and 2) having had an 18 year old niece killed in a car accident...victim of a drunk driver who was "well known to the police".
I say let him cool his heels in state prison for 2 years.And then a lifetime driving ban.
