Default 146 mph

Just picked up my Porsche from the 60k maintenance and opened it up on an Oregon hwy. 146mph. Thats all I was willing to do driving with one hand and taking a pic with my cell phone. (ps. might have to tilt your head to the right)

Could you please go back and take a photo at 170+?
I just want to know what the top speed is on your car.

Beware... everyone who posts such evidence on the net may be in for a surprize.

In Norway, a twit posted a pic of him going insane in Oslo... the fuzz trraced the pic to the owner and he was fined over 2000 Euros.

Go to the track!

Well, as one who likes to push the envelope a tad, too, I'm glad you enjoyed the little 'Italian tune-up' that you gave your car. I know it was probably 'away' from you, what with the 60K service, you were merely, IMHO 'having make-up sex' (to quote a Seinfeld episode).
Now that your heart has stopped racing and you thoroughly enjoyed that little stint on a nice clear and quiet road ...please be careful the next time ...and, yep, I recommend doing this on a track ...under controlled conditions ...rather than on the roads where smokey could really ruin your day.

Happy New Year to one and all.

Just so this thread doesn't become too hypocritical:
