Back in the day, we *AHEM* 'appropriated' the mayor's Mercedes while he was at a state conference and took it down a steep slalom exit at over 100 MPH. We literally smoked the tires into blue clouds stopping on a right hairpin that put it up on two wheels. His son told us that for the next week, he was complaining about how 'thumpy' the tires were, and couldn't remember how they got that way.
No shit, Sherlock.
The more velocity, the more believable it is. Especially in the first person.
