This thread is ancient.

Last summer coming back from Seattle I hit 125 on the speedo and I run 20"s.

Me like him got pulled over but further down the road. I got hit with 91 in a 70. $197 ticket.

I'm Really stunned at all the people who drive like that, i cant believe that you would want to endanger yourself and other, there was a kid at my high school who loved to speed and flaunt his 350z and he ended up in a grave and killed a family in a van, just think of the crap that can happen, if you wanna go fast go to a track.

Or an open freeway in the middle of nowhere like me.

Just hope there are no police in helicopters or planes above you.

You're an idiot.

wtf are you trying to prove? Your vehicle is SLOW. I am not sure what motivates you to break the law, but I REALLY hope YOU get caught.
Your one of those, "well the rules apply, but not to me" type of people eh?

I hope you total your vehicle in a mangled mess of metal, and you dont hurt anyone except yourself.

Go loose a arm, leg, foot or hand from your accident.. You might not be so brazen next time. Going 5mph? fine, everyone can make a mistake sometimes. Going 50mph? You deserve to have your driving permit taken away.

KEEP IT ON THE TRACK. If your XB is sooo fast, itll be just as fast on the track as it is on the street, where OTHERS drive, reguardless of if you say its an "open freeway, or the middle of nowhere"

OK, this old thread that was revived like the zombie it really is has gone on longer than it should have and has now devolved to this point of wishing others ill.

Congratulations, torqueTc, you have gotten the topic locked.
