I KNOW what you mean brother Just teh thought of gravel against skin will make you slow down.

 

If you think it is irresponsible to reach those speeds on public streets--just say so. You should be more concerned about the drunk drivers doing the speed limit(or above the speed limit) than a sober driver occasionally hitting a 100mph on an isolated road. Anyway your whole comment on the infiniti emblem gravestone is in poor taste imo.

 

Forget gravel on skin--how about the thought of your body flipping and contorting over and over at 100mph--dislodging limbs as you reach a stop--or God forbid being run over by a car behind you.

 

texasscout you are old.

 

Forgive me and maybe it is because I really should be asleep right now but what the he11 does that have to do with anything he said? Call him old if you feel the urge just explain why that was relevant. LOL

 

He doesn't need to, he's right. I'm 50 years old. I don't heal like I used to. I have more sense than I used to. I still enjoy speed and lateral acceleration. "I love the smell of burnt rubber and nitro in the morning, it smells like Victory" I may be old, but, I'm not dead yet.

 

PERKS OF BEING OVER 50

1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.

4. People call at 9 pm and ask, " Did I wake you?"

5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

7. Things you buy now won't wear out.

8. You can eat dinner at 4 pm.

9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.

10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.

11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

12. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

13. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks! into the room.

14. You sing along with elevator music.

15. Your eyes won't get much worse.

16. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

17. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.

18. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.

19. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

20. You can't remember who sent you this list.


And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

 

just an observation. my mom was two years old when he got his first car.


TEXASSCOUT -

very funny stuff. esp number 14.

 

hahaha texas... nicely said

 

Here in H-town I've hit 110 more than a few times. For those who know the Hardy Toll Road, it is great for opening up the G. The car is great at those speeds, even in and out of traffic; just don't give any sudden sharp turns. Noise isn't too bad, just sounds aerodynamic, I guess. Don't know how to describe the sound besides saying constant deep whooooosh of air flowing around the G.

 

God help me if I EVER get THAT old. **** just shoot me and put me out of my misery.

 

OMG - you must be an infant! LOL! Are you even old enough to drive

Let's assume you are 16 and your mom had you at 18 - that only makes him 48 if he got his car at 16. That ain't exactly old.

 

LMAO . . .

Young/Foolish = "I'm a race car driver. I can drive better than most people and I can negotiate most road perils thrown in front of me."

Older/Wiser = "Race car drivers ALL eventually CRASH."

 

i dont think he's 48. if he got his first car around 61 hes gotta be in his late 50's.

and to a kid whos only 19, a 50 year old IS an old man.
