went for a long drive tonight....
ok, some of you may bash me for talking of my excessive speeding... but whatver... i am not careless.
i was bored tonight with nothing to do... so i decided to go for a long drive.
i will be honest.. i did have the intention of seeing if i could get to or close to top speed.
i drove from home (Collingswood, NJ - right across the bridge form Philly) all the way up past Jim Thorpe, PA to the exit for Mt. Pocono. (about 100 miles each way)
i didn't realize how hard it is to get up to 158 (or whatever top speed is)
you really need a good length of open highway with no cars - and that's not as easy as i thought (now that i have tried)
i got to 120 then next to 125 then a little past 130 (131, 132) about 3 times.
it wants to keep going, but i just kept running into turns or traffic - so i slowed down each time.
i did make good time home tho.
105 miles in 1:10 >> avg 90mph -- not bad (haha)
i made even better time thru the EZpass section - 75 miles in :45 >> avg. 100 mph
(good thing they cannot give tickets from that!)
just thought i'd tell of my fun sat night driving alone... haha
i was just surprised at how solid this car feels going that amount of speed and several times - also taking a turn at 120 was rather fun.
