Of all the ways to get popped for speeding that's gotta sting the most

My god. That’s nuts. I’ve seen some pretty crazy M drivers down here in florida doing 110-120 weaving in and out but 200 is next level stupid.

We lose that superhero invincibility as we get older... me too.

Agreed, in fact, all of the state. Except the panhandle in winter because it normally sees a foot or so of snow on good years.

Sincerely,

Respect!

Here's a real world pic from a couple of years ago mid day heading in to my office in February.... This of course is F and not C

270 kmh, so far my top speed, think its 280kmh. driving fast gets some getting used to. look at formula drivers, actually they don't go much faster than 300kmh on a closed track, they run out of track or have a turn coming up and are always slowing down. drove a 911 turbo s to 310kmh, both cars felt good at these speeds, sucks gas like crazy but who cares right? not on the autobahn all day going through 2 tanks of gas. very fast cars, and I bought the x3m because I wanted the 911 but its not practical, x3m fills all my needs. love it.
