Yeah I don't do that often, I usually like to camp behind a runner.
Two weeks ago right before I put my SDL away for the winter I took her out for one last ride to warm up the oil before I changed it and to test my driveshaft/trans leak repair. So I am driving it around town and it is so smooth and running so well I think well maybe I will take her up on the highway for a nice run. (pop a Metallica CD in
) I get to the bottom of the on ramp which is a slight up hill but straight and long. All my windows are down and the Sand Man is cranking. I thought hmm she hasn't been out in two weeks lets clear the pipes, foot down. I poped the shifter in 3rd and ran her to the stops all the way to 3rd then slid it in 4th and kept my foot planted. With the new Mobil 1 ATF the shifts were like butter and she popped into 4th and kept going. Even with the windows down I didn't realize the speed I was going but I scared the crap out of a Camry as I passed him at 110 and climbing. Then I decided to slow down and hit the brakes and brought her down to a crawl (70) just in time for me to pass a state cop doing radar!
Good thing I would have been pushing 120+ if I didn't.
The moral of the story is I have no self restraint and need to drive diesel car. If I had a 500E I would have gotten nailed for well over 150 probably.
