also, granted these speeds were definitely getting high: but usually it's like "...with the stolen car hitting speeds of up to NINETY MILES PER HOUR!!!!" lol
although even 125 on a straight (relatively) desolate road is not a big deal ... it's like the autobahn. In summer of 2004 my buddy and i did road trip around europe after i grad'd ucla and there were sections where we were comfortably doing 130 or so in an opel vectra wagon lol

amazingly solid at 130 btw ........ i guess all euro-spec cars are turned for high-speed cruising?!
