Lol...Wow, it must take a lot to admit that you learned something from somebody else, I like how you put it in small letters. My 99 was pressed in, my 02 has the badge.

I've hit 120mph in my 99 TL-P and my 02 TL-S just goofing around on the highway, never tried to top it out.

Same here, there's only one interstate that runs through town and cops always on it. Can't afford the ticket either, it would be outrageous too.

I don't know how it is there, but you get arrested here if you're going that fast. Doubling the speed limit automatically gets you a reckless driving ticket and you get to go straight to jail and no collecting $200 unless you can lift the cops wallet.

It would depend on the cop here. I think it's the same law, but he would have to be an ass to take you in.

When I got my DUI I was going over twice the speed limit in a construction zone
(granted this was 3am with no one else on the road and going 75 in a 35 on a straight highway.. not as bad as it sounds)

I could only imagine the ticket with that, but since I got the DUI, they didn't give me all the traffic tickets.

Had it up to about 125. Stopped because I figured 4th was too slow in gaining speed and I didn't wanna risk being pulled over.

So you found and got a TL-S?

I haven't seen any threads from you with pics of it....

WI isn't south? j/k I didn't think it was restricted to southern states, but I guess you can't expect everyone to know every expression out there.

Hey your pretty smart. Drinkin some beer then driving 150.... not only would you lose your liscense and possibly your car, you would also do some jail time...

But by all means, have a couple more and try to go faster

Ive hit 145 on my TL-S. In Davis, CA, there's a lot of little desolate county roads. one of them is a 3 mile straightaway. It's been a little while though.

I'm only talkin like 2 or 3 here, not shit faced trashed. but the straight away was almost 4 miles on a small incline, downhill that is. And losing your licsense isn't that bad here in Tn. J/k It's happened before but because of unpaid tickets. But either way I found out that my speedo is 5 mph fast so lets say 142 mph for good measure

not like it matters... she wont be able to do much as she has to rely on MANpower, not horsepower to move.
