    Yeah, I've been over 100 in pretty much every car I've had. The 4runner is way too comfortable at high speeds. My best friend, the Georgia state trooper, can confirm I've gone at least 98 in it. :D

    At the fall races in crandon you can watch them up close in person on the back side of the track Saturday night and it is seriously my most favorite part of the Labor Day races. Seeing the sparks flying when they bash into rocks and watching them climb over each other with the crowd going nuts is just fantastic

    I was literally just thinking about posting the same thing. I've gone at least a hundred in every single one or if it was not capable then I went as fast as I could.

    Haha! I'm not sure if my first car, '91(?) Hyundai Excel, 4 cylinder, 4 speed had enough power. I bought it for $260 at Al's sales and salvage in Butler. I was super fancy back then!

    Regardless of it being a cheap, crappy car, I was ecstatic to have my own wheels. I had a lot of fun for the month I had it before selling it to buy an '85 Celica (last RWD Celica!). 22R-E, stick, electrical issues, and a bad clutch, for $400.

    My '53 F100 flathead V8 would top out just under 70, '78 Firebird ? (85mph speedo - like that was going to slow anyone down), '84 Rabbit about 110, then I started buying trucks and bikes.

    I’d say that’s why we all moved to trucks… but that doesn’t seem to have slowed anyone down lol my tundra with the TRD sway bars drives and handles way too well for something that large lol

    I'm happy to be slow nowadays. MPGs > MPHs. Instagram doesn't care how fast I'm bro-flexing LOL.

    No sir, I work that Friday Saturday and Sunday so best I could do is leave them next to my porch to be picked up. Also, was it just the floor mats or mud guards as well?

    I feel so insignificant, my top end was about 130 in my XJ6. Fun times and I’m glad I lived through them!

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Same. Too much "Imperial Scout Trooper" tendencies here

    130 in an F430 Autocross. Then he gave me a bonus lap.... Thing will do 160 in 3rd gear.....

    2004 Neon, dusted a 2010 Civic on a state road.... Right past a cop depot. Luckily they were all looking the other way. The civic was governed at 110 and I left him behind.... Both of decided after that we maybe needed to calm TF down.

    So I got into off roading (which I always wanted to do anyways).

    But back then we had a hell of a crew... A Prelude that was Fast & Furious worthy, a 98 4 door accord 5 spd that was a veritable rocket, a 96 4door accord that cleared 300hp and was just a stupid mustang killer, an ancient Maxima Type R that was illegal in several ways, pair of Firebirds that were trooper magnets, the 2004 Neon..... Probably forgetting a few. Lol. I think everyone in that crew all drive jeeps and Tacos now. Much more better :D

    Yeah, my 2017 OR has um..... Kept up with a Ram or two on the freeway. It's getting slightly wider tracking next week. (It's not a race truck..... Yet....)

    I was taught a very long time ago, in a place far, far away, that it's standard procedure to test the limits of every vehicle you own, rent or borrow. :cheers:

    That's a pretty good deal, someone who isn't doing an exhaust reroute should hop on that!

    As it turns out my new front bumper that was advertised as a 2nd gen is actually for a 3rd gen. I got bamboozled! I'm trying to get it returned, but if someone with a 3rd gen is looking for a low-profile bumper hit me up. Biggest benefit is no lead time or shipping costs, and it's already powder coated. Link to C4 manufacturer page below.
