Took a Supra out to the Cali desert and ran 160.

Scared the **** out of me.

Also jumped hills in a CAMRY at 110 in Maryland and my sister used to race her MR2 twin turbo in SoCal.

Hot cars turn young kids into idiots.

The fastest I ever drove was 120 on a German Autobahn, and then for only a few milles, between Nuremburg and Munich. Needless to say, it feels nothing like driving at 80 or 90. Weird. I have been content since to look out of windows as the airplane takes off.

I did an indicated 160 on my GSXR1100 (probably ~155 actual) on a 2-mile-long straightaway outside the base I was stationed at a couple of times. The front end got a little “floaty” at that speed, mostly because I couldn’t get proper Z-rated tires for it. It was fun. I was “racing” a guy in my unit who had a turbo Starion, and went past him like he was painted on the road.
