Maybe he had one of our fabled dust storms pushing him along..
Or he hopped up those gophers with some sugar before he went down the 101.

Did you hear about that guy in the Altima that got caught going like 150 on the 101? He was caught 5 times in 2 days. One time flippin off the camera!He didn't have plates but the cops were able to see where he bought the car, called the dealer and arrested the guy. Supposedly like a minor leauge baseball player or something

I did 105 in the scion on my way to vegas last weekend. I am not going to lie, I tought the speedometer in there was just for show but I had a lot of pedal left! Plus it was the middle of the night and no cops for miles! 136 is bad though! I will have to challenge that one day!

Actually, that reminds me, if someone is tailgating me, and I 'touch' the brakes, he still gets the ticket for rear ending me right?
