So we are all car FANATICS to say the least but most of us probably do not have a Enzo or a McLaren parked in their garage......but we sure like to drive fast no matter what POS we own. So I have two questions

1. How fast did you clock yourself in your own vehicle? (please mention the model, make, year, etc. of you car) and why (were you running away from the COPS)?

2. What was your worst speeding ticket.

Here are my answers:

1. 130 mph in an 1993 Nissan Maxima GXE while driving back from Michigan to Chicago because the car would vibrate under 100mph but the vibrations disappeared after 105 mph or so. (found out that the tires were not balanced and needed some alignment on the car too)

2. I am ashamed to admit this but I only got 1 speeding ticket in my entire life behind the wheel and I was doing 25 mph in a 15mph zone....and the policeman was on foot when I got "pulled" over.

Fastest I have ever gone is 138 in my 03' C230 Kompressor Black and in my Jeep 01' White I topped out at 100 which might as well be equivalent to 200mph because god knows the thing isnt stable.

Luckily the worst speeding ticket I got was 80 in a 55, and its actually my only ticket to date.

I've gone about 130mph in my M3, and 150mph in my 951 (look in sig for car details).

My worst ticket actuallt wasn't that bad. I was on a fairly long road trip in a BMW Z3 (1997 2.8L). I was going about 135, but I slowed down to overtake a truck. There was a cop in the ditch next to the road right as I passed the truck. I got a ticket for 97mph, which is plenty, but 3mph more and I would have lost my license.

i have been up to 100 but my sunfire only goes 100 and the steering is awful and the thing is not stable at all. god, the steering is really bad... anyway, my only ticket is a 55 in a 25. a small country road with no shoulder and only old stone slave walls on the sides so if i ran off the road i'd be screwed. no reckless driving though, only speeding. the cop was hiding in someone's driveway too. wtf? isn't that private property. damn cops...
