Good point, 30yrs driving....hmm 16 when you got there...and the whole "I only do it on the open highway".........sure ya do ;)

Yeah...wish I were 46 and still racing on the highway :)

Interesting topic and many viewpoints...

I myself drive fast in my M3 on a daily basis, I'm a safe driver but that's not saying something could happen at any moment. I've been 152mph in my M3...before you jump to accuse me...it was on my way home from college, on a highway where I could see 20 miles in front of me and a couple miles behind me, I was alone in the car and there was not a car in sight, it was a clear blue day on a highway (midway down a hill so I could see the entire 20 miles). I enjoy driving fast BUT don't do it when someone is around or in my car. You can tell me I'm wrong to do it but if I crash (on the highway going 152mph) the only person that is going to die is myself. I enjoy driving fast and testing the limits of my car but I do it when there is not a person in sight.

As far as your girlfriend's driving, it's crazy and stupid, plain and simple. Weaving in a out of traffic is asking for an accident and passing in the right lane is VERY dangerous. I hope she changes her ways and doesn't hurt herself or others.

I drive fast when I think it's safe(ya subjective), just came back from vacation to Arizona from California. On the stretch of interstate 10 that runs through the Mojave desert I did 100 most of the way.

I agree weaving in and out of traffic is dangerous , I don't agree just because you go above the speed limit you're driving dangerous. If that were true any who goes 26 in a 25 would be considered dangerous.

thx for sharing those stories. if you read the post that started this thread the sharing of other "speed" stories is what i asked for.

if others feel like sharing stories of speed please do. i am quite interesting in hearing them. im done defending myself to those of you who dont approve.

I get ya bro, I myself love to drive fast. I hate when it says it should take me 1 hour 45 minutes to get somewhere, I take it as a personal challenge to get there in half the time or less if possible. Here are some of my top speeds achieved...

Yamaha R1 - 178
Yamaha Raptor 700(ATV) - Appx. 85 to 90 mph
Cousins Dinan 04 M3 - 160
My X5 - 140
100 meter dash in high school LOL - 10.9 (still a school record)

im the same way. it was supposed to take me 7 hrs and 30 mins to get home from niagra. my drving enthusiast friends were impressed that i made it back in 4hrs and 45 mins. takes alot of focus to drive at that level for that long. whered you do 140 in the X? you rockin a 4.4 or 4.8?

very impressive 100 meter dash time! LOL

Vin Veyron: I made the trip to Niagara Falls also in my X not too long ago.....and yeah on some stretches I was over 135 for extended periods of time (hell the nav unit even clocked me at 143 a few times).......so if you ever see an Estoril Blue X, that sits low with wheels and a killer exhaust note and Jersey plates ------- the race is on.......

im sure you're a good driver etc....
all im saying is be careful :)
dont want to hear you had an accident or something!

also your gf needs more cd's ......too much time between songs :)
Also what was the bleeping noise in the video? speed camera warning? or parking sensor?!

Pa turnpike on my way to Philly, its a 4.4, and thanks on the 100 time :D

i know the feeling. i got up to 125. on those long open stretches where you are the only car on the road, with wind at your back you feel like you are flying. nothing like it.

i will def keep an eye out for you :thumbup:
