first day speeding over 100.....oh crap

Well I made about 4 passes 100-110 in my cl and on the last one ran next to a buds del sol (he said my car was impressive ) pull in a parking lot to turn around and fucking blue lights outta no where. So im thinking fuck! The cop started talkin bout people racing on these streets and such and I know im gettin caught for racing. Luckly it was a rent-a-cop who just wanted to tell us to get off the lot and to make sure we weren't drunk. SHEW lesson for today, dont run on that road again. That was the first time to go make passes above 100 (with me driving) and first time a ran a car like me n my buds del sol did and first time a cop has stopped me. Fun though

*not the first time i've been over 100, just first time with me driving.

I really really wanna see how fast my car will max at, but as insyone said, I dont feel comfortable doing it on anything less than a 4 lane wide road. With that said and what happened last night I may have to find a new spot. I only did it with 4 wide lanes and no cars out, if car lights hit the horizon I backed off. No sense in risking anyone but myself in that situation *if* something were to go wrong. But im a speed freak, adrenaline junkie and im ordering a V1 soon I'll feel better after that I think.

The most I've pushed was around 105mph. Open interstate, no cars, but I got nervous. I mean the ticket for that kind of speed is a real bad one. Not to mention, you will go to jail for that shit. I know the Mistress will do it though. She had plenty of RPMs left, I was just plain CHICKEN.

I forgot to say, 105 felt very smooth. Very smooth.

yes 100-110 was very, very smooth. And the tire thing was another thing that concerned me with going very fast, I dont think my tires are rated above 120 mph so untill I get new shoes im probably not going to be doing this for a while.

Learn your lesson before you lose your license. The lesson ISN'T don't run on that road, its dont street race.
