As long as he wasn’t drunk or high, and was driving on an empty road — all of which seems to have been the case — good on him. Pay the ticket and consider it money well spent.

Of course! You don’t think the police get the Hemi Chargers and other souped-up cars (with minimal environmental-impact attachments, it should be noted) so they can putter along city streets?

These black-glove hotdogs just love a good high speed chase. When they pass robberies, drug dealing and other criminal activity along the way it all becomes a blur and they can focus on the real criminal.

I guess he figured the “I had to pee” excuse wasn’t going to cut it.

When I was 17 I was cruising down the interstate in a Ford Torino at about 110. I slowed down to exit and saw a state trooper in my mirror. I pulled over and his 427 Chevy was overheated and smoking like hell. He said it took him more than five miles to catch me. He was actually nice to me and gave me a ticket for doing 90 in a 70.

I aired out my 1990 Mustang 5.0, but I never had enough road to get beyond 125. Fun, it was!

420 HP gets pretty stale if you don’t air it out now and then.

Having some work done on the Wrangler so have been forced to borrow my mothers Porsche for a couple of days. It's nice to be driving at a speed that would be insane in the Jeep and realize I have another gear left.

As the former owner of an 86 GT Hawse, I completely understand.

But as they say...if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.

In my younger stupider days I had my bike up to just shy of 120. Not hard to do at all on that bike. Kind of scary for my passenger.
