Hey, I didn't know ShinyRibs name was that! And I thought he was older!


Damn. Learn something new every day.

Nope. Wrong state. Sounds like hellbilly is getting it done up there.!

Thought maybe you went for a joyride. You can be in NYC pretty quick @ 166 mph.

I got pulled over in my purple hyundai accent with gold pinstripes that spelled HELLBILLY on both sides, with my gold dryer-vent hoodscoop (that actually was ducted to the air-filter) for doing 96 in a 55, glad the officer clocked me when I was slowing down.... True story btw

It is going to cost him, but when he is 60 years old he will still have that
 ticket mounted in a gold frame on the wall!!!   LOl..lol

I had a 68 Nova with a 350 with some work, a B&M shifter on a Muncie 4 speed, hookers headers, drag star wheels, edelblock manifold, Rochester carbs, ect. Anyways, CHP clocked me once, but they didn't get a chance to tell me how fast I was going

Good thing there were no cops when I did the crazy ride. There's a 4 mile long double s road out west of town, which at the time, had NO development along it, NOT ONE side street, exit, anything, so it was a 4 mile stretch of road where the only thing that could pull out in front of you was wild life.

The speed limit on that stretch was 35 MPH (don't know why, it was 6 lanes, three in each direction) and I got my old Katana 600 up to it's max speed with factory sprockets....136MPH (minus factory speedo error of course) That's almost 3.89 times the posted limit. :)
Woo hoo! :)

I hope he wasn't using trapster

Not at all, this was back in 94' about 1am. I was doing 100mph on the way home. As soon, as I saw him, I turned off the lights, down shiffted to 3rd and floored it! After that, I shiffted to 4th, all I could see, was his lights fading away and my needle bouncing up and down traying to pass the 135 mark! I was 24 then, and to tell you the truth, I didn't drive that car for a month after that lol!

My buddy got pulled over going around 160, the cop let him off with a warning because he stopped. He said he'd of never been able to catch him.

Hey! Trapster is for the speeder to use, not law enforcement. They have their own version. I believe it's known as 'Motorola'.
