hey splinter how did the car handle at 121 ?? just curious [:I]
Wasn't bad,but after a few minutes my mind started to plant weird thoughts in my head, like "did I torque those lug nuts properly?"[:I]
My wife did say, "let's roll up the windows and see if we can go faster!! Nope only 121!
IT WAS A BLAST.

I have heard that the limit is 115mph but I hit max 120mph many nights. The section I can get to 120mph is downhill though. Also is there a way to kill the limiter I feel that the car should be safe up to 130mph
Do you think maybe these speeds and strain on your engine may be the cause of some of your engine problems. Just an observation.

I found my speed limiter to be the blue lights in the rear view mirror. To make it more painful, he didn't stop the two people who just blew me off the highway... he stopped me because
"I noticed the PT Cruiser"

Thanks, Baby.

At least she's been good to me otherwise.

Out of State tags or not, you still have to be doing something illegal to be pulled over in the first place.

be right behind the two super speeders when you hit the speedtrap.

5:00am - dark, just into town in NC - RIGHT after the speed limit changed. Now, I KNOW NC has lots of them, the speed limit goes up and down and up and down all through the state - not just where you leave rural and hit a town - I'd slowed down even more but when these two nearly rear-ended me, I sped back up a bit before I got hit.... BLUE LIGHTS!! The other two cars kept hauling and the NICE POLICEMEN - two cars - just stopped me - the last one running - and NO I was not doing 87.

LOVE your uniform - by the way!

Or just be suspicious... DWB comes to mind.

Fritz,

Can't be certain, but almost all states have a "probable cause" limitation which means you can't be pulled over for "looking suspicious". Something the driver does (failure to use turn signal/wear a seatbelt)or a fault on the car (light burnt out) has to be witnessed by the officer before a car can be pulled over.

Drivig While Blond might be a good way to meet nice girls, but highly illegal for being pulled over.

P.S. I know what you really meant.
