Default hate to be a killjoy, but

Not impressed by 135 on a public highway. That's crazy. Wanna wring the thing out take it to a track day at some race track, there are enough spread around the country. Plunk down $200 bucks and drive your car as fast as you want, and it's on you if you scuff it up.

Nobody is a good a driver as he thinks he is, and on the highway cars pull out, tires blow out, deer jump out, pieces of retreads from tractor trailers suddenly appear...

Nobody ever planned to have an accident.

Two guys were drag racing their Acura rice burners here in the DC area a couple of weeks ago. They didn't think anyone was around. They were just seeing what their cars would do. They didn't expect a pedestrian on the road at 1 in the morning.

But there he was...he lost two legs and an arm before he finally died in the hospital. The Acura driver that hit him will do serious time. But he had a fast car.

Take your car to the track. Have fun. Wring it out. Don't do 135 on the highway. That's insane.
