MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) A 41-year-old Darwin man who was caught driving more than 145 mph in his Ford Mustang GT said he was airing it out, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. Authorities said Richard Bernhagen was clocked at 148 mph on July 17 on Tagus Avenue, a county road just outside of Hutchinson, Minn.

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.
My mechanic said to stop driving like an old lady....and “drive it like you stole it”....
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!
LOL! Of course! He wanted your business for all the damage you would do to it.
420 HP gets pretty stale if you don’t air it out now and then.
“excuse me while I air this out”
Are we talking about Anthony Weiner?
I had an ‘80 ford escort 4 cylinder up above 120 once - course it was mostly downhill....
“The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year.”
hahahahah!!
It was a gas station burrito that he was airing out.
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.
Did she give him a good talking to?
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.
Took me a while to remember where that came from. Then I remembered.
I hate Illinois Nazis
We gonna air You out, boy!.................
The best one I ever heard was the guy who said he had to go to the restroom real bad and that is why he was speeding. LOL
