Tonight we were coming home from our softball parctice and I was driving Barbs Caddy SRX. Its got the sweeeet northstar 32 valve. This Civic with the fart can and a big wing cuts me off getting onto 190 and takes off. The boys are like get him dad so I gotta save face in front of my kids. We zip up next to him and he starts to pull out on us so I gas it and come back up next to him. We are into the triple digets now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) As I pull up on him I just have one hand sort of draped over the wheel and give him one of those glances over my left sholder (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif) Then I put the gas to the floor and that car just came to life. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) There are a bunch of these cars running around with the V6 they are fun but with the V8 oh man are they FUN. We got home and I told Barb about it before the kids had a chance She failed to see the humor in it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)

It never fails to amaze me that people think 99mph is OK and 100mph is dangerous. 80% of the time that is where other people let off the gas.
In some situations (yes even on the street) 150 in the right conditions is safer than 35 in the wrong conditions. (Not that 150 is safer than 35, but the CONDITIONS dictate what is safe.) I just don't get the 100 mph "magic number". The numbers don't designate safety. The road surface, surroundings, the vehicle, weather conditions, etc designate what speed is safe. Now, I haven't touched what is LEGAL, and I am staying far away from the "kids in the car" thing. |
