Not that I'm condoning what anyone has done, but anyone that bases their decision on distance alone is a complete idiot. I don't know how many times I'm driving minding my own business, and some fool will decide to cross the street, forcing me to swerve around the car. Happened just a few days ago. I swear, if I wasn't driving my G, I wouldn't have been able to brake/swerve in time, and would've nailed the clown at 50mph square on his driver's door.

I also can't count the number of times, I was in the left lane going about 60mph, and someone in one of the right lanes decides to get in front of me at 25mph, forcing me to leave a long pair of tire tracks on the freeway.

Yup, they are idiots. Unfortunately, we can't just ban them from driving, so they're here to stay.

There really is a subset of drivers in Los Angeles that have a predetermined plan of how to get to where they're going. They've got to be in certain lanes at certain points along their drive. So when they reach a certain point along their commute, they're going to get into their favorite lane, other cars be ******. It's just amazing. But I guess you can't compensate for any contingencies like other cars going different speed when you're too busy sipping your starbucks coffee, talking to your best friend about nonsense, while you drive an SUV with a horrible field of view in the back and sides.

All german automakers have an unwritten agreement to limit their cars to 155mph. Exceptions are like the Bentleys ( owned by VW group ) but built in England.

Looks like he rear ended someone or spun out of control.

They will sell your car in a heartbeat with jail time and 2-3 points on your record and about 1 year license suspension if the judge doesn't like you. I went to court for my 104 mph ticket and met this kid that told me he was doing 140 in a 35mph zone. Judge sold his car and he did community service with a year suspension. No more speeding for me...I learned my lesson.

Hey man, props for going that fast, but let me tell you something.
My buddy would always tell me, "One day, your luck might just run out, and when it does, there is no turning back."
He's dead now...watching his dad hug the casket was probably the worst feeling ever.
When your conscious takes over, you think it might not happen to you, but when it does...it's too late.
A car can be replaced, but you can not.
I've been there, done that. Decided to quit recently before it's too late.
If you want to give your car a top speed run, stick it on a dyno...I'm pretty sure there are some that can give you a full run.
