Or drunk. How many of us have ever driven a car over 90mph let alone 155mph? Used to be teenage boys who drove too fast and crashed their cars. What a horrible story. Must give the girl credit for trying to resuscitate her victim though not much consolation for his family or hers. Very sad story.

In much of Wyoming and Montana 90mph is an acceptable speed when the conditions allow for it.

Myself the fastest I’ve ever driven a car is about 130mph and that was just once and for a short stretch on a very straight road with no one else in sight for miles.

I would bet most of us have driven over 90mph, but I have never been over 149 because my car would not go any faster.

Speed limit in Texas often is 80 mph. 90 is a pretty common average speed on those roads. My wife once hit 120 passing some cars in our Toyota Celica...I’ve hit 100 numerous times.

In 2005 I bought a new Chrysler Crossfire coup that I took to a very deserted rural road and got it up to 150 when the speed limiter kicked in... I was glad it did. It was an exhilarating and terrifying experience. Never did it again. Nice car though.

There are places out West where the only people you will kill is yourself and passengers. That said I was in my late 20’s before I had a car that could even go 155, can’t imagine giving that to a teenager regardless of budget.

Car 130. The computer wouldn’t go any faster. The cruise control worked too. Middle of Nowhere, Nevada.

140+ a few times on motorcycle, German autobahn.

The roads get REAL narrow at both these speeds
