A Little Misbehaving

Negncic is wise. I won't be doing that again any time soon.

Don Fernando forgot he wasn't cruising the Autobahn in Europe haha.

In Germany, we have laws prohibiting talking on cell phones while driving, but as you all know, the speed limits on the autobahn (when there is one) is about 80mph. Driving 100-150mph is certainly not unheard of over here. I've been passed plenty of times going about 115mph. I don't necessarily think the speed is the biggest culprit in wrecks, I think it's more people trying to multitask (i.e. talking on cell phones). Although, I will mention driving that fast consistently takes a bit of getting used to.

I may be in the minority here, but good for you!!! When I was younger, my dad and I would go for drives like the one you described. Sitting in the passenger seat with him, I learned to respect my car's limitations (tread traction, sway through corners, road conditions, etc). I'm grateful for that experience because I know it's saved me on a couple different occassions from pushing the envelope too hard.

This is his current favorite girl:

I get to take her out from time to time and we've had a lot of fun with me always mindful of the risk and danger that comes with stretching her legs.
