Need for Speed
“ The primary reason I am racing is because
I enjoy being in a fast car, being on the edge.”
--Jacques Villeneuve
I drove my ’68 Mustang
130 mph.
Today’s highest speed limit,
in Texas,
is 85.
There is no speed limit
on the Autobahn
or the Isle of Mann.
Last year a Ferrari
was clocked in Texas
at 242;
chump stats
compared to the
Thrust SSC
in 1997,
tooling along
at 760
on Black Rock Desert.

Speed...you can keep it! I drive like a little old lady. I drive like my grandmother. Speed scares me! LOL
Can't even imagine that kind of speed ... my brain would explode. I got in an accident the other day going ... 1 mile an hour. I kid you not. And it did quite a bit of damage. ;P
