The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

[Raza]

WTF, you're riding bikes at 100 at this temperature?

I'm still driving with the top down.

Just to put it in storage... my riding season is over

Bike feels comfiest at ~80-90 on the highway

[hotrodalex]

Not me.  It's a fine engine, but the 2.0T is a great engine, gives you less weight over the nose, and can be boosted to high 200s with a $600 ECU tune.

ECU tuning will make your car asplode.

I hit the 95-100 mph range today on the drive to Boston.

[J86]

dude you just need to move to Boston.  Youre always headed there!

[Onslaught]

SLOW. It's raining and dark and I never knew how much the headlamps in my MX-5 SUCK!!!!!! Or perhaps it's because they're 23 years old but whatever it is I can't see a fucking thing.

[dazzleman]

I've only come 3 or 4 times this year.  Besides, if I moved here, that would ruin it as a getaway place.

Got the aux power (and hence the detector) back online in time for some road-tripping this month.  Will update as needed...

Get yourself some Hella or Cibie e-codes with bright bulbs. So nice.

98 mph, on the way home from Boston.

I do better than that on my way to Walmart. Sounds like you need to grow a pair, Dave.

You're right, man.  If I had any balls at all, I would have pushed it to 130.  I'm a total fucking pussy.

Brushed past 100 on the way to work today.  Almost on traffic, but I had a passenger with me, and I didn't want to go too fast with a passenger.

[cawimmer430]

Christmas day speeding. 

[CALL_911]

Over break, I'm taking a preparatory class for the MCAT. I have to take the freeway there everyday, so I've been doing 90 mph+ blasts every morning. Feels good.

[hotrodalex]

Weeeeeeeee!

[cawimmer430]

Weeeeeeeee!

Don't think I've seen a cop since last night. He was going the other way and pulled into a turn around section of the median. I figured he had already seen me, so I didn't bother slowing down and blew by him at 85. I love 75 mph speed limits

Me too! When it's not raining.

[hotrodalex]

The day I took that picture at 110 I also booked it through Glenwood Canyon at around 85 (speed limit 50). Two semi trucks saved me from getting a nice ticket, too. Was coming up on them and both turned their left turn signal on for a second, so I knew something was up. Slowed down and spotted a cop sitting on the right.

Yesterday a guy at work came up to me when I was out for a cigarette (nice fellow) and asked "My eyes weren't playing tricks on me, were they?  You had the top down this morning?  It was 31 degrees!"

Well done, sir.

[S204STi]

Not sure what my top speed was, but I hit redline in 3rd gear a few times while datalogging.

[cawimmer430]

Hit 210 km/h later, but the shots I took were all blurry and useless.

Hands shaking or was the car just vibrating too much?

[cawimmer430]

A crappy section of Autobahn that caused my car to vibrate like crazy. And I have a very hard suspension so it makes the shaking even worse!

[S204STi]

dinged 110 yesterday...

What does the chica think of your driving style?
