I will race to the speed limit with my kid in the car. The fastest road in town is 45 mph. He will be driving in two years. I tell him that whoever is in front by the speed limit is the same one who will be in front at 100 mph. I know he's gonna do it, race that is, but maybe, just maybe this will keep the speeds down.
I'm I wrong? Honestly.

 

my dad never said a word about racing, but i usually just race to 55 (speed limit)... im 18 btw so im right around that age of raging testosterone and stupidity

 

Nice 2 kno I aint the only 18 year old here I usually get up to 120 can't help it should really stop though

 

You should hear what the window seals start to do at 140ish and above. Well you start to hear alot of things too lol!

 

U hit those speeds in ur truck or in a car???

 

In the truck. When I lived back home in Texas I had a really long race with a mustang gt, I posted it in the beaten thread I'll paste it here then.

 

The best race I ever had was a race with a mid modded 03 Mustang GT. Was on a long empty stretch of SE. Texas highway at night. After we punched it we just kept it going, we started slowed at 60, by 80 I was pulling ahead, we just kept going and going. Speedo long ago maxed at 100, truck still accelerating, window seals sucking out engine hitting rev limiter shifting into 5th, with short drops back into 4th. Truck's vibrating, winds screaming at me, engines screaming he lifts, I see that my exit is coming up soon so I lift, and let me tell you it took a bit for that speedo to move off 100! I pull into the strip club parking lot "I was meeting up with friends" and park, about that time the GT pulls in also. Was making me think "It looks like he's angry he lost to a truck, it looks like things are about to go very badly for me." He was also meeting friends at the club, he asked me "Man do you know how Fking fast you were going!? I told him nope speedo goes to 100. He told me well I was hoping you knew because mine goes to150 and I know I/we were over that, he said he was a foot or 2 off my bumper, I stopped taking looks as soon as the truck was vibrating and it sounded like my windows were down lol! We were maxed out for about 1-2 mins, was it stupid yeah probably but hell it was worth it.

 

Thats good times. I love Stangs that think that they are badasses of the road, and then you kill them. It's also nice to know that I'm not the youngest in here (being 20 and all). And ya, testosterone and stupidity are an every day part of my life. Almost got hit by the 5-0 this morning. I was doing 95 in a 55 in the back country and the sheriff came at me the other direction and I slamed it into 4th and slowed the f*** down. Don't need a ticket for that kinda speed. Here in Cali, doing that can make you lose your DL and your truck.

 

It is getting like that all over the US I think. I got nailed for 95 in a 65. I wasn't too worried until I went to the magistrate about it and found out that they could have pulled my license for that stunt. Luckily I had a clean slate. I pleaded temporary insanity ( aka I had a real bad day and tailgaters **** me off ) they reduced it. I still have to behave until the points clear up tho.

Oh and as far as speeding. I just pick a "scout" car cruzing way over the limit and follow about 1/8 mile behind. Let them flush the 5-0 out for me.

 

I've been lucky so far. I've been pulled over 2 times for speeding. The first time I was doing 125 in a 65. The sheriff said he had to do 145 to get me. It's was late at night and no one else was on the road and I was less than a quarter mile from my house when I got off the freeway. He was all big man and then ran my plates and everything was clean, so he told me to pull my head out of my *** and never do it again. Boy did I get lucky.
