I love to drive and more i love to speed. Though we have lots of traffic in the area... The highest i went to is 130 to 145 km/hr that would be around 3am in the morning "no traffic at all".... and i still feel safe... I've seen a few SPORTS cars here... and i wonder... how fast can that go... :P How about you? do you like speed and how fast have you reach and still feel safe?

i feel the safest i can drive on the freeways around ohio and cleveland is about 10 over the speed limit. Which its about 60 most places around here the freeways so i go about 70 which is actually what every one else on the freeway drives. Plus your safe at not getting at ticket by only going 10 over the limit.

I'm from Romania and the roads here are in a very bad condition. With a Hyundai Getz i've reached the top speed of 172 Km/h, but it was dangerous. With this car and this type of roads i cruise around 130 km/h to feel safe.

Me, personally, I have always had a bit of a lead foot, which has led to my share of traffic tickets. While I do like to drive fast, I have never been an unsafe driver. I believe that I am a better drive at 90 mph than some people are at driving the speed limit. I don't take unnecessary chances, I do not weave from lane to lane, I do not cut people off unsafely, I always use my directional... I do not like to take chances on the road. But at the same time, I do have a lead foot... some people tell me that what I do is a bit unsafe, but I really don't think so. I have never been in an accident, I have never lost control of my car... I am always in control. When I had a Ford Mustang GT, I actually hit the 130 mph mark on the freeway when I was driving from Vegas to Palm Springs about two years ago. It was on interstate 15, which was pretty empty, and I just wanted to see how fast I could go. I took my car upto 130 mph and then immediately dropped it. I don'd drive like that consistently, it was more of a test.

Did you ever think what would happen if you blew a tire out at a high speed? Or what you'd do if a deer jumped into the lane? If you want to jepordize your own life, that's one thing, but there are others on the road. Maybe you should see if there's a drag race track in your area.

I just started driving 2 months ago, and I can only go 50 comfortably. At the speeds you are driving, I wait to see you on the news, after being killed in an accident. Traffic doesn't matter. Animals, slippery roads, turns... they can all result in you careening off and getting killed. Dumb people.
