I've committed much worse felonies than that

Except for the unsuspecting cow that happens to cross the road. RIP poor cow.

eh, it'd suck worse for you then for the cow, I think. Cause the cow wouldn't know any better.

and yeah, I wouldn't do that in a crowded area... but.. come to think of it, I've had a higher speed to limit ratio before... 96 in a 25. (so that's 71 over) (some out in the boonies country road with a fence along either side, going straight through some kinda crop field, and no one else in sight. that was fun.)

These are farmed lands, not dairy lands. No cows, only chopped crops that you can see over. It's pretty great because you can see for miles, theres no danger except if the car breaks. Then you just die.

Both the cars I've driven a lot (Ford Aerostar in high school and a Ford Escort now) top out at 110 mph. I've driven some cars that can go a lot faster, but they weren't mine.

Jeez...the poster of this topic really needs to get a grip on real life, if you are serious, and it sounds like you are. In the real world, we don't execute people for driving their cars too fast.

I won't even address all the idiotic "forum drama". If I wanted a soap opera I'd watch Days of our lives...or no, Passions. That one with the magic witch and her little midget boy friend...yeah.

I'm pretty partial to Dallas.

As per the latest in-thread topic: 100 in a 75, so 25 over (flow of traffic was around 90, so I decided to hit 100 for the hell of it once I cleared the pack)

It's all about Dynasty!

DALLAS.

Afterall, WHO SHOT JR? WELL?

Good call right there, but the "Bobby dying but it really being a dream" really turned me off. :p

I did.

I think he was actually knocked over by a speeding motorist.

Most I've gone over the speed limit? I've managed to get our car up to 90mph on a motorway (speed limit 70mph).

Downhill.

With a following wind.

We need a new car

105 in a 50 zone, got caught too. I lost my license for 3 months, and had to pay a $345 fine.

I tested my dad's car in a 50 mph zone (a straight and empty country road in daylight I remind you), I went up to 115 mph
So that's 65 over the speed limit.

Most I've done is 100 in a 70, but that's because I typically use other cars to gauge how fast I'm going, and there were no cars around.

Lets see... I've gone 55 mph in a 40 mph zone, and I've gone 85 on the freeway. (the latter one was when it was late at night and there was no one around.)

i propose the death penalty for manipulative frigid girlsl

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

meh. i don't mind speeders. What should get the death penalty is people that have their high beams on while tailgating. that is SO distracting!!!!!

heh i got an older car anyway i managed to get that sucker to max out at 120-125 mph on an 55 mph old highway/blacktop in iowa.

anyway often back home in colorado, i will often gun the engine and see how fast i can go before the car start to lose control.

ive managed to get my old lincolin connectional '87 town car up to 110 mph, and for that old piece of crap that's pretty damn good.

then got my newer chrysler '87 new yorker up to 120 mph.

so *shungs*


hell i even drove 100 mph entire way from council bluff iowa, to rochester new york, cutting down an 1,000 mile trip from 16 some hours down to 10 hours.

Impressive! But how was your gas mileage?

In built up areas I try not to speed.
Open roads/carrageways/motorways I usually go about 10 over (80mph instead of 70mph).

The most I've ever done was 140mph in a 70mph zone (3 lane motorlane during a quite time) (6 hours late going to an assignment due to car trouble) AND A CAR OVERTOOK ME AS IF I WAS STANDING!!!

I was once driving on a country road doing 50-60 (speed limit 60 but lots of hills and corners). Started going round some gentle turns and almost ran into the back of a car doing 40! There was no other traffic about, his car was more powerful than mine and you could have taken the corner at 70 (I usually do )

The drivers I hate the most are those that drive at one speed i.e. 45 in all zones (30, 40 and 60)


Let me know if you ever drive in Britain, I don't want to be anywhere near YOU.

I think the fastest I've gone is somewhere between 80-90 in a 30 zone. I routinely go 55-60 on this particular road. For some reason, the speed limit stays 30 even once you've left city limits. Which makes no sense. Especially on a low-traffic road with few houses.

I see cops speeding all the time, too. Today, I was going 35 in a 30 zone, some cop was apparently going 40-45 because he was passing me by (I made sure to stay back so he couldn't radar me. )

I guess it's OK for cops to ignore traffic laws.

I REALLY hate it when cops think they're above the law. In fact, cops can do LOTS of things that other people would get arrested or ticketed for. That's just BS.

*slaps a random cop*

One thing the cops have that other people don't is a lot of training behind the wheel of a car, especially at high speeds. They also have those souped up cop cars that can haul ***! :p

Yeah, the FHP back home have the new chase cars. You don't outrun those suckers :p

its pure ****, i'm driving an '87 chrysler, and i'm always surprised by how good its gas mileage is as compared to most of the SUV, truck, cars that people drive here at RIT.

i usualy get from 15 in town, to up to 25-30ish on wide open road, but then again my engine is just an inline 4 cylinder, but i also have turbine on it for that extra power when i need it to pass or stuff.

anyway i noticed around 65-80ish it get allright gas mileage but over 75+ it starts to go to hell, around 90 mph or above it drop to 15 or so miles per gallon.



lol don't worry, think about it for a min, wide open plains, its flat here, you can see for 2 to 5+ miles without problem, its wide open straigh road, with almost no traffice, sometime i can go up to 100 miles without seeing another soul on the road, so if i was you, i wouldn't worry about that one too much. beside its my own damn fault/problem if i lose control anyway.




lol i know they seriouly haul ***, my younger sister has an sold off police car, and goddamn, its too powerful to control, it keeps on spinning out or keep on fishtailing and sweveling because of the sheer amount of power that is sent to the back wheel and its tough to keep that sucker on the road

it also got extra heavy duty suspesion, heavy duty everything, alternator and what so ever, so its really an sweet car

one time i borrowed it from her and slammed the gas on the blacktop, boom off i went, got the sucker to hit well over 120 mph before it started to shake a bit, but then i backed off because i was starting to get into hilly tetories plus my dad was with me and he wasn't overly happy with me *shungs*

heh i guess it just runs in the men side of the family, my dad has lost his lincease onice or twice, to illegal street racing, he used to soup up car, and one of his story that he loves to tell the family is.

"I'll put this 50 dollar bill on the dashboard then tell my friends if you can reach and grab it, its yours. None ever did."

so yeah it does sort of run in the family

My '89 Cavalier gets about 35 miles per gallon high way, and about 22 city.

that's nice

my mpg is probably just lower because my car is almost always fully loaded with people and the trunk is full of mantainance ****, i got spare rim, an spare tires, full 2-3 foot by 2-3 foot box full of tools, oil, funnels, filters, what so ever, almost everything you need to strip and rebuild a car on the spot.

so yeah if i unload all of that **** my mpg might be tad better

That turbo is what's killing it. A turbo will eat up gas just like a big V8.

i know, i noticed that, at lower speed to normal speed it dosen't eat that much gas about 25-30 mpg average on open road, but with alots of stop and going and stop, it eats the gas in city.

noticed that the gas eatage aint too bad untill i hit around 75 then bam it skyrocket

Back on topic, people. This thread was supposed to be about whether or not Page should die.

:banned:

A turbo shouldn't affect the gas milage too negatiely. It injects more air to get a more efficient burn of the gas.

It's not really speeders who annoy me, nor is it people going under the speed limit (though there is a limit I will tolerate). No, what really irks me is when traffic can't pick a speed and stay with it. I can never use cruise control, because whatever speed I set it at, I'll always end up slowing down because some jerk made a bad merge and the person behind him had to slow down. And then speed up again.

Don't forget when diesels play leap frog.

for lower speed it shouldn't but at higher speed, it does, i have noticed this myself.

Ok, so this is the wierdest thread ever...

First off, someone said that slow drivers, not fast ones cause traffic jams and accidents.

Not true.

Drivers who do not leave a significant gap between themselves and the car in front do that.

Also, for those who were demanding death to those going ten over, in the UK, you are actaully by law allowed to drive at the speed limit + 10% + 1mph.

For example, motorway speed = 70mph.

Allowed speed is therefore 70 + 7 + 1 = 78mph.

Which is ever so nearly 80 mph which is close to lynching speed on massassi. Woah.

Speed doesn't kill on the motorways, bad roadcraft does: people who stay in the outside lane when people are going faster than them may well be thinking 'I'm doing 70, nobody SHOULD be passing me'. They are both WRONG and DANGEROUS. They should be out of the fast lane as soon as it is safe to do so. Even if you are speeding, (I tend to drive at about 80, unless traffic is tight then I kerb it a little) there will always be someone going faster than you, even if it is the emergency services.

People who undertake, and drive without keeping a hawk's eye in their mirrors, and those who taligate cause accidents.

Ok, driving lesson over, I've only ever got 97mph out of a car because my cars are small and cheap, so don't go very fast But at least I owned them all.

I think we're all focusing on the wrong issue here...

the death penalty is wrong and hasnt been proven as a deterrence for people to not commit crimes.

I generally drive 30 to 40+ over the limit... I drive 80 through my residential neighborhood. Granted, I usually leave for work before there is any traffic and come home after it's all gone, but still. On the highways here the limit is 70... I usually drive 95 - 105. *shrug*

...you do 80[/b] in residential areas?

it's all straight roads with no stops...
