Ever seen that commercial for VW...

How do you make a VW go 200Kmh?

Then they drop one from a helicopter...

Having a passenger at that speed would be totally irresponsible

I would have got to much glare through the steering wheel. There wasn't a car in sight so I had the whole road to wander.

you should see me on my gsxr1000 I do that speed on one wheel

go ahead... flame on but my driving record speeks for itself. CLEAN

hahaha

I passed a guy up the 400 yesterday in a black Carrera2 with tinted windows. He was going about 110-120ish.... I think he was afraid to give er....

I have to admit I was felling a little more tense than the norm knowing I would have to run if clocked at 50+ end of season, worry again next year. This law is total bs.... I may have to give up all my toys to remain able to provide for my family.

Well at least there is always my Seadoo. Guys, if you want to have fun you should try going up to Wasaga Beach in 20-25ft waves on a windy day. Now that's a rush. I was just out on the weekend and it took me a day to recover from being sore and tired... awsome stuff!

Won't be me, unless I get pulled over driving the Wife's Mercedes Wagon or my tow vehicle! My Porsche was hit by a Tractor at my Father In-laws farm!! Ouch...

While I was inspecting the damage, somebody in an Integra was pulled over on Hwy 50 and Nashville Rd. A tow truck, a taxi cab, and two cop cars. This is the same spot where the stupid brothers racing killed a few innocent people recently. Looks like he got his car taken away...

Guys, don't speed on Hwy 50... easily 3 cops pratrolling at any given time.

Drive fast and safe... see you at the track!

cheers,
Patrick

This new law is a joke.

This morning, driving the 930 to work. QEW eastbound near the Ford plant.

130 km/h in the middle lane..... keeping pace.

I see headlights behind me weaving......clapped out Neon blasts by in the right lane doing at least 160.....chick driving with cellphone pressd to one ear. Dodge minivan takes this as a cue to follow. Neon quickly shoots over two lanes to the left, cutting in front of other traffic, and then slams on brakes! Minivan does the same in the middle lane. Almost two rear enders. These are the people that they should be targetting........

I see this EVERY day...........

Agreed 100%.

May be it is just me, after they passed this new bill, everybody becomes more aggressive on the road. I was doing 120km at the rightmost lane on 401, 4 lanes open and peoples still tailgating me, wtf?

<rant>Racing is safer than going to work on 401</rant>

Absolutely 100% positively. I'm much more concerned for my car's and my own safety driving to and from the track than anything that might happen at the track. You can guarantee that everyone at the track is paying 100% attention to their driving. You can bet that most people on the 400 series highways are paying 10% attention to their driving.
