Default My squid thread: Just how fast?

How fast have you gone on the street? and Track? for those of you who would never do such a thing on a public highway

I ask because it rained the entire way home and for a short stint I hit 148mph in the wet on the interstate. The debil made me doet.

Its around .63.


My fastest was about 140. Nothing too crazy. I don't see the need to run 170.

I would agree, it's a moment I'd refer to as a temporary case of insanity then again I guess I'm sane at those moments(very few of them I might add) because I'm always calculated in terms of when I'd do something like that meaning on the interstate.

Insanity would be doing 130+ down one of the busiest streets in Detroit, which is what my childhood friend did(he's no longer with us)
