Chris - you have a family right? Get home safely to them and help others do the same.

We get a solid 1,000 vehicle accident deaths a year in this state and many more serious injuries.

As someone who reads about a ton of auto wrecks as part of my job, going 90+ is very dangerous to you and those around you

I used to do the same, but now rarely break 75. Just not worth it.

Even if got think you are fine, realize toy have to account for those around you who aren't..... Not being at fault in an accident matters little when you are dead

Yawn. When I lived in PHX, I routinely drove 110-120 on the 101. When I drive to PHX from LA, I hit 130 when I get to Indio. Topped out at 165.

I hit 120 in my Camry between Blythe and Palm Springs but anything above that and the car shakes. What car were you driving?

Drive a Camaro 2SS w/ modifications. I’m much more tame than I was 8 years when i lived in AZ. L.A. traffic will do that to you.

I learned a very long time ago that besides the idiot factor of driving 120+ there is something else to consider that rarely gets thought of.

It is irrelevant what speed your car is capable of doing...what truly matters is what speed your tires are rated for and what condition they are in.

Often the car can do 140 but the tires can't. Imagine a catastrophic blowout while doing 140...or 160. Say goodbye.

Geez. Rough crowd. Chill out.

Eh, to me it's not that you've done it. Hell I've hit 145-150 many times.

But I was young and dumb and I don't say "Yawn" and brag about it.

I'm damn lucky I didn't kill anyone.

Just my 2 cents and now I'll stop preaching.

Same and your point about the tires is spot on

However, I think it's awesome when people come to boast and are met with the exact opposite reaction, so I'll add one more thought for TJ

"Down the shore" sounds like New Jersey. 'Glad I left there for Phoenix 39 years ago. My license plate says (phonetically) PARADISE. And that is what it has been. :D
