Default I almost went back in time this weekend

A friend of mine had a performance this weekend in NC and his car broke down a few days ago so he had no way to get from DC to NC...so i told him that if he paid for gas i would go get him...he agreed...anyway....sunday night as i was driving back from dropping him off a Solaris decided that it felt the need to embarASS itself on the high way by racing me...so i proceeded to use my V6 engine for what it was made for, driving at the speed of light, for a while now the lights in and above the speedometer havent been workin so i had no idea how fast i was goin but it felt a little like 95....after quickly out-running the solaris i turned on the interior lights and realized that the speedometer was not pointing at the 95 mark but instead the 130 mark....as i sit there and stared at my new personal record i was glad i had detached my flux capaciter and decreased the jigawatts to my engine cuz at such a high speed i coulda accidently ended up in 1842 and i dont think they had gasoline yet back then.......

i'm glad i didnt get caught cuz accord forum is strictly prohibited in prison


oh and by the way...i left DC at 12:00am...stopped for gas, stopped again for gatorade,parked out side my house in NC, went inside, changed clothes, and got in the bed all b4 4:10am.....thats gotta be a record somewhere...

Gotta love that sound difference after 120 (terminal velocity for falling objects)... 125 is my personal best (years ago when Montana had no speed limit and I was a crazy teenager...) in a mid 90's Ford escort Sport... other than that my governor keeps me under 120...

My F22A6 has NO problem going past 130.. (flat out) it wants to catch air though at the end at the "hump" in the highway..
