The "How Fast Did You Drive Today" Thread

Running out of gas. While running out of gas itself is hardly a crime, stopping on Germany's famous Autobahn for any reason that's not an emergency is illegal. Forgetting to fill up and sputtering to a stop on the high-speed motorway is completely avoidable and will get you fined.

Not bad.  Where were you when you hit this speed?

Choose one:

A) Closed course, professional driver.
B) I-26 North Carolina on a long downhill grade. No brakes!

Much vibration?

A) Obviously.

We´d never condone illegal speeding here.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Much vibration?

Of course not. I balanced the tires, myself. Just a little wind noise, and the sound of a screaming tractor engine

Correct!

[CaminoRacer]

Get some Forgeline wheels and BFG Rivals on that thing and you won't have to balance the wheels at all. Much craftsmanship.

Also it would cost you 5x the value of the truck.

Did you remove the tailgate?

Naw, it's got a cap on the back.

I'll put it on my todo list.

I'm driving to Boston next week.  I'm planning to leave Thursday night rather than Friday morning in the hope of having lighter traffic on the drive up.  I hope that road, traffic and weather conditions are good enough to allow me to really put the hammer down.  I haven't had a good really fast drive in a while.

We need visual evidence that Grandpa David went over 100 mph.

I'm too old to do 100 mph.  When I say "put the hammer down," I mean 85-90 mph.

Don't forget to take a picture of your speedo.

Come on Dave take a walk on the wild side.

Good grief, either keep up with traffic or get off the road 

[dazzleman]

I can't do that while I'm driving.  If I get a ticket, I'll post it and that will prove my speed...

I wish i could do the drive with you in the car.  Another like-minded dude always pushes me to go faster. 

[Eye of the Tiger]

Come on, I did over 100 in a 4 cylinder truck, and it took about ten minutes before I had both a downhill slope, and a tailwind.

With some of the rust buckets I've seen you drive, I'm surprised you could even get to 50 mph.....

[FoMoJo]

That'll work as well.   Just don't lose your license.

Hey now, rust is just free weight reduction. Everything that I currently own has done at least 90.
