One night when everyone were asleep, I did the topspeed of 160km/h = 100Mph on the motorway in my mothers brand new 190D aut. back in '92 (the spedomenter went to max. 160 km/h), I was 14 and didnt even have a license.. haha. The car was slow as a donkey but the thrill was very exciting I really miss that car..

My elder bro (who is one year older than me) and I used to put the cars in neutral and push them out of the driveway and down the road and then start the engine so that our parents couldnt hear the sound.. That was 100% pure thrill I loved it..

Another speed record set for me. On my way to the Rose Bowl, me and my pal were driving the speed limit when a Nissan 350Z was following us so closely that I got out of the way and let the LADY pass us. Yes, it was some middle aged woman. We let her go by and saw that she was tailgating everyone that was in her way. I decided that it would be fun to chase her. At first it started out as a simple joke, passing her doing about 80mph. She then flew past us doing like at least 100mph. I was amazed that this woman would be driving the freeway so fast. As we got close to a desolate stretch of highway, I floored it. We got the car to 125mph before we had to slow down for traffic. There was no way she was going to catch up. She ended up catching up once we were down to 80. I just looked over and laughed. It was obvious that she was mad as H3LL. Take that you old woman!!!
