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)

agree with the wifey.... be an example, if you like to race, do it where the consequences ONLY affect YOU (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) |

and where would that be? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) on the moon? mars? venus? even on the race track, there's a pretty good chance that the "consequences" of your actions will affect more people than just you ...

As a rule of thumb, I back down on the streets at 100...
Either by myself, with others.. ext. I will stop at 100 and test my brakes back to speed limit. |

i used to commute 100km one way each day for a year in one of these:
(IMG:http://www.twingo.net/nicolas/gronauini.jpg) on that daily drive, there were sections of the autobahn were i would get over 200km/h and it didn't feel a bit unsafe. and that car is tiny! the SRX is HUGE compared to the Renault Twingo ... just the fact that he was going over 100mph doesn't have to mean it was unsafe ...

So what you do to the Twingo to make it go 200 km/h???
Put a Renault 5 turbo engine in it? |

I should have said for our non DFW folks that 190 is a six lane tollway where if you are not doing close to 80 most of the time you get ran over. Its nice new road that there are videos on the web of guys doing well over 140 for miles on it. Then you have the bike guys that go down the road saving thier front tires doing wheelies at 70 for as long as they can. I have been driving along about 70 and see a bike coming up on me with the guy standing on the rear pegs and pull the front end up and go past on one wheel and just keep it there for 3 or 4 miles (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

190 is like a DFW autobahn... 3/4 of the people here are too cheap to pay the $.75 tolls (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) and the people who do get on try to "beat" the tolltag sensors by flying down the road... a vette was shown 'cruising' through the toll booth at 140 on TV not long ago... they couldn't give him a ticket because the camera couldn't make out the plates...
bikers on crotch-rockets and guys in their camaros, white 'wife-beaters', and ricer boys, and the BMW/Benz crowds fly down the road... 65 is the 'posted' speed limit, everyone does 80+ though... that said, I never break 100 in anything, anywhere... not worth the risk, especially if my wife is in the car. sorry Lar, I'm kinda with the wifey on this one, to a degree... if the kids weren't in the car, I'd back you up... but your kids are all great! My wife even said how precious your daughter is... we'd hate for anything to happen to them... sorry, but someone dear to my wife was killed racing his 944 turbo down 75... |

naaa, A3 has a couple of nice looooonng downhill sections between Limburg and Köln ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) btw. the LCD speedo only goes up to 199km/h so when you hit 200, it just goes back to 0. meaning, when you do 205 it just shows 5 ...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif) I'm totally amazed! I would not have thought a Twingo would break 200kph even if dropped from an airplane! I had a chance to drive a Renault Kangoo on the Autobahn, south of Koln, while back, and that was aerodynamically limited to about 185 kph, and was scary all the while.... |

When my wife and I were in Italy I drove an Opel Corsa that looked something like that Renault, but the fastest I could get it to go on the Autostrata was 160. ....Not bad for a 1.0 liter car! Chased a Lotus Elise through the Italian Alps in the same Opel, my wife wont forgive me for that "drive" to this day, although she never said stop chasing him? We hung onto the crazy Italian driving the Elise for at least 8 kilometers until the road opened up. Then he ran away at high speed. |
