That's pretty impressive for a Honda Civic.


Yeah dude, and the car was still driving smooth at that high speed. I loved that car, I wish I still had it. I got it over a 100 on the causeway a couple times. I was dumber in my youth.

1998 oldsmobile Intrige with the H rated tires. Got it up to 135. Then was pulled over for 96 in a 70. Glad cop didn't catch me 10 minutes earlier.
Used to try to get to BR in 30 minutes.

Fastest I've gotten was 145 in a Prelude with work racing a 3000gt on the basin bridge. Blew the engine though.

My friend drove my Impala Ss to where the needle disappeared and we made it from Houston to Nola in 3 hours.

2001 Nissan Maxima

ETA: possibly my mom's 84 LeSabre Coupe. Was waaaaay late coming home from girlfriend's house and was flying down an isolated rural highway. It was a cloudless night with a full moon and my dumb arse thought it would be cool to drive with the lights off.

Considering the volumes of dumb shite I did in high school and college, how I am still alive is a complete mystery.

Speedometer only went to 100mph but definitely wasn’t limited at 95.

I was driving on I-10 late one night and hit it with my dash mounted gps. It took forever to go from 95… to 96… to 97… so on

2006 Nissan Titan, 120 on I-10. It was really late, and I was young and stupid.

I’d imagine the first one I ever drove without my Dad present. Within 2 minutes of the driveway I am sure.
