Thoughts?

A few years ago we had an Atlanta area NSX'er who previously owned a Ferrari Boxer. He holds the highest speeding ticket issued in Gwinnett County of 115 over the 55 limit. For his folley he did have the priviledge of spending the night in jail and there was quite a financial burden to bear as well. I saw the citation framed at his office.

While I enjoy a sports car with pep and admit to on ocassion exceeding the speed limit, I think one must draw reasonable bounds so as not to endanger others.

Something noteworthy here is that he wasn't on a freeway.

On a road that allowed cars to intersect and get on in many different places.

At 172 he would kill himself and whoever else if someone pulled out onto the road. This guy is an idiot:mad:

This is true but at what speed are you endangering others?

100mph?
120mph?
150mph?

or 181mph I did back in the day on my motorcycle when I wasnt that bright?
