Wanna talk recklessness... Here's something we can probably all agree on. Your more likely to get run over by a Mustang leaving Coffee & Cars 🤷‍♂️

When I was 17 I was racing my 97 golf against a civic. I know, I don’t know where my head was at either. Although I still have a soft spot for vws. I lost it on a slight curve going 130mph. I did a full 360 and managed not to hit anything. The tires on the left side of my brand new car were down to the belts, but me and my 4 friends were alive. That incident made me slow down because I was quite reckless up until that point. I thought I was in complete control, but I was inexperienced. You never know when you’re going to lose it.

Doesn't even have to be you losing it. Ever hit a rabbit, an armadillo, or even a deer, bear, or moose at low-speed? Scale that upwards with the momentum and ability to lose control as you get faster.

Imagine a dog running into the road going 120+??? Talk about things going bad quickly...

FWIW, a few years ago I lost the ability to drive a manual transmission among countless other activities and hobbies. Heck, even lost the ability to walk any appreciable distance without keeping a cane, due to a reckless driver operating their vehicle negligently and with excess speed. They also thought they were OK.

Watching police handcuff someone and write citations isn't much consolation comparatively. Probably been 4 or 5 years since I've been taking 2 dozen or more pills a day of various types.

I had slow cars and fast cars. Still have slow cars and fast cars. There's a time and a place to open them up.

But you know what they say, it can never happen to you right?

Never seen high speed instability on a G body, had mine pretty fast. Our 75 Nova 4 door, the back end started floating at around 90 mph, I believe.

It's fun to be a guy isn't it? I always say "We ain't having fun till we dial 911" Your ride looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely more there, but 124.75MPH sustained blasting on the highway tonight. Our highways are definitely not freeway quality.
FUN! -until the air starts getting underneath....
Previous best was 121.52MPH and started to crow-hop.
Without any air dam / GFX, it held surprisingly well tonight.

Hey, I’m not one of the “ you shouldn’t do that” I’m only curious how you knew it went 124.75 opposed to 124.... just curious

I think I've had my truck going 124. Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump 'em up.

The Rusterado shuts off around 105-108, I think, definitely a fuel cut, picks back up .......


Wait. Wut?
