Don't need any self righteous, judgemental jerks replying either. It's always guaranteed a response from these folks whenever any "speeding" is mentioned, yet we all drive a sports car and have at some point gone "over the speed limit".

Markar, glad your mom could feel some boost before she leaves this earth.
I thought we were at a knitting class there for a moment... Or I mistakenly logged onto a Kia forum...

Most of us I'm sure have clocked in over 100, some of us more that others I would say but you know what they say..... "Don't remove the speck out of your brother's eye when you have a log of our own"....

Makar, thanks for sharing your story with us, real or fake it was well noted. Although some of us here might not take their mother along for ride, I'm sure you'll be the subject of many stories your mother will tell her friends...

-Eli

I off-set for telling the truth, well at least I think you did....

UPDATE: Since I gave you that +1 rep point I noticed someone didn't like that and now I got dinged.. WTF Hope maybe I'll get my rep points off-set by a kind user who doesn't ding those who speak the truth....

Yeah, me too until the max speed alarm goes off which was programmed by the previous owner at 70mph. I gotta reset that one of these days.

If you're going to speed make sure you're in a car that's designed from the ground up to go fast, not just modified. that's why i love german cars; they are built for the autobahn. i would never go over the speed limit in a honda or jap car.

I can't even do 15mph with my mom in the car. When I first got my 4s I took my mom for a ride and when I gave it a little gas she tried crawling out the passenger window! That is no lie!!!! After that she would pass when I asked if she wanted to go for a ride with me. My girlfriend wont even let me get over 20mph. She screams at the top of her lungs. Only my dad likes getting on it with me. Could be because he owns a 944 and respects Porsche and its speed and handling!

Unless you can honestly say that there wasn't one occasion where you thought the road was clear enough and safe enough to down shift and hit it a little then dont judge other people, i have a m6 with some mods done to it and to get to 150 from a hwy speed is less that 15sec at wot then back to normal speeds, keep it safe out there everyone!!!

The negative replies remind me of a recent article in one of our local papers... A guy wrote in that he regularly went 15 kph over the speed limit on a certain stretch of road, but he was really annoyed that someone passed him. They have since painted a double line on that road and, although he still speeds, he is happy that those "idiots" don't pass him anymore. He considers himself a "smart" guy - the people who speed a more than him are the "idiots".
