175mph

A whole different "level of attention" is required at that speed than at say 130mph.

[lurqer who in his mis-spent youth was a member of the "1000 - 100" club ... more than 1000 miles above 100mph. Mostly on old Route 66 when it was a crown top road. Young and foolish then, older still foolish now.]

I hold the record of 100 mph within city limits
did that on Clearwater's Bay Bridge, a beautiful stretch of road

I love Florida's major roadways
today I traversed the Tampa Bay Bridge, a stunning suspension bridge
I used my new digital camera while driving near the top
steered with my knee
accidentally pushed some little pieceofshit Volkswagen off the road
gotta do what you gotta do to improve the view

with all due disrespect, try 100 mph inside Los Angeles city limits, chickenshit

going 175 mph in Bumwad, California is no challenge
going 135 mph on Florida Turnpike is no challenge

what is the challenge here?
car's potential or human nerve?

excuse me, gotta get some snoozation
I'm off in the morning to go skydiving with no parachute
no that is raw nerve, jackass wannabees
this is my second attempt
the first went off without a hitch

Oh yeah?!

Dodge Caravan 95 mph County Road #7 April '97
Twisty, rural country road on the way to the hospital while driving the very pregnant Mrs. Clappy.

Now that was a rush!
