whats the fastest you guys have driven in a car?

The fastest I have driven in a car was 98 mph. It was a New Years morning, around 6 am. I lived in San Pedro, CA, and I was headed to my mom's house in Huntington Park.

It was a beautiful, quiet morning, there was no traffic on the freeway, just me and my brand new silver VW Beetle. His name was Silver. I had the radio cranked up playing good music, and I was feeling good and happy about my life.

I thought let's see what this baby can do, so Silver reached 98 mph and I thought, I know it can make it to 100, but I chickened out. I maintained the 98 mph for quite a few miles, when out of nowhere here comes a cop with the sirens blasting and the light flashing... I got a humongous ticket for going over the speed limit!!!

I've never forgotten it. Yep, first and last time I ever did that!

[mphenterprises]

Yeah, the only time I went over 100 was that one time. I was traveling Route 55 from Vineland to my home, at the time, in Deptford, NJ. It was about 2AM and there were no cars on the road at all. I was with my girlfriend at the time and figured I would "show-off" a bit. :D

I hit 125 and put the cruise control on and just coasted. LOL :D The only thing I was concerned about was the police. I lucked up that night. I could not even imagine what would have happened if I were stopped.

back when my rav4 was new in 02 We had a fire call and we where all out of town at training i told my fire chief to hope in he said he was all set I made it first out of the parking lot red light going i toped out about 135. I got to the fire station which was a strait shot down the highway 11 miles from where we were. i pull out as people called it my truck and had to wait the chiefs chevy had a governer on it and could not break 95, no one would pass him. good thing was the call ended up being not that bad i think it was a car fire. I got back and the kid on the department that had his dads rx7 at the class gos next time make him ride with you I never made it out of 4th!

[Adama]

hehe You really lucked out there, MPH. Cruise control really helps, doesn't it?

The one thing I don't like about driving at night, is that you don't know who's behind you and you definitely cannot spot a cop car.

It's been a long time since I drove at night, but when I do, I always pretty much follow the speed limit, just to be on the safe side. Or I follow the flow of traffic.

i just got a 20inch widescreen dell monitor. I now dual monitors with my new 20 inch and old 19 inch flatscreen. Widescreen is so much better.

[techie4fun]

Your monitor is one inch wider than my ViewSonic monitor (also widescreen), but you are cheating because you now have dual screens. I guess you beat me :^0

[lilxkid24]

thing is my mom is acting like a B now lol shes like no way am i going to be using 2 monitors... either i return this new one or put old one in garage or something...

[AuroraDizon]

parents and their lack of computer knowladge B-) Sounds like something my mom would say. You don't need that anymore do you? Yes I do. lol

[lilxkid24]

my dad on other hand doesn't care he bought it for me lol. Moms just the annoying one.

[AuroraDizon]

Sounds the same lol

[lilxkid24]

oh wells look like im sticking with my new monitor and not using 2 monitors. At least the resolution is way bigger now sine its 1680 by 1050 and my old one was 1280 by 1024. Plus this dell monitor has so much better color.

[mphenterprises]

:D So I guess your mom won, huh? What was her justification behind not letting you use both monitors? Your mom would probably die if she saw my setup. :D

[rtfire1]

better yet my basement, I have 7 p3 / celaron servers that I am gutting I am keeping two cases for my self the rest are going to the line of people begging me for any parts. I have my laptop pluged in to my 32inch flat screen got to love games that way. when my mom saw the setup went cool.

[mphenterprises]

:D Yep, it looks like you got me on that one. LOL I am doing some minor upgrades to my main computer but nothing comparable to what you have.

[rtfire1]

The more I try to down size the more stuff I get. if all gos well I am going to have two file servers in the basement for my 1.5 tb of stored crap.

[lilxkid24]

more radiation lol plus the desk space shes like im not some working businessman who needs 2 monitors. For now i have my old monitor in my closet lol. What a waste not being able to use 2.

[rtfire1]

my soon to be stepson has to 21 inch crts on his desk I only ask that when both of them are on he turns off the tv and all that good stuff.
