The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

I have yet to go past 90 in the Mustang. The highways here are far too curvy, poorly kept, and narrow. 65 feels like I'm hauling ass. Back in Miami my average cruising speed was around 80.

A friend had his new Mustang GT up to 140 last night. The I430 river bridge is apparently a good place to speed at night. I'm also a little jealous, I've never been that fast before.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

I've done around 135 in my Mustang, it's quite a feeling

It's sad but 120 in the RX-8 feels just like going 70-80.

There is a stretch of a new 4 lane highway close to my parents house that hasn't officially been open.  Only thing that sucks is that county roads cross into it.

He said he thought he needed new underwear after :lol:. I've been up to almost 130, which was as fast as I think the car was capable of.

When hit almost 140 in the BMW it felt like 90-100 in my Saturn.

A slow 180 km/h on the way to Dachau today. Just didn't feel like speeding since I have a bad cold and am not that alert and well.

I was pissed off at a car that wouldn't get out of the left lane. So I started to give up and get in the right lane and he thought I was passing him and he floored it. Something snapped in me and I put it to the floor and wouldn't stop until one of us gave up. He gave up first.

Why do people do this? I don't want to race stupid people. The the only reason I ended up doing 114 was for a stupid VW Passat that kept passing me, then slowing down in front of me. I get so tired of playing musical lanes.

Dinging the century-mark today.  Not going to go for my current record again unless I can do it on a track.  Did 140 last Xmas day.

Where do you find the room for that? Oh, never mind, you're not on the crowded-ass east side of the country.

60 km/h max today in the city. Have not been speeding recently because it's very wet and slippery here and the BMW doesn't drive that well in those conditions, even with winter tires.
