Oh I know it was dangerous, its just that it had just been a blizzard, and I was going down the middle of a two lane roadway, and was pretty much the only car.....I only saw probably 6-7 other cars on my 9 mile drive that morning and followed one for over half the distance....so it wasn't all that risky, had there been more traffic I'd have been going slower. This was at like 8am, on a sunday, so there was essentially 0 people out except me on my way to an early work shift....also, I alllways leave a huge distance between me and the next car in front of me(especially that morning), even in dry/good weather/months.....I am a very safe driver.....over two years and 30,000 miles after getting my liscense.....have traveled trips involving thousands of miles and 10+ hours nonstop.....not a single accident/being pulled over/or ticket whatsoever.

The breif time I actually reached 60mph is insignificant, most of the way was 40, in order to trail the person ahead.

In the new age of protecting your children and bringing up a baby by the book, you might as well live a little.

Tonight a dakota pickup thought it would be funny to drive 45MPH in the 55 on the way home...they FIANLLY moved over out of the left lane and in doing so I put my foot down. Being all downhill...I let off when the speedo buried itself in the 120 region and took my turn for some food before bed. Danerous? Sure...but for anyone else besides me? No...unless my car somehow exploded and destoryed that car on the other side of the ditch median

How do you know you are living if you can't feel alive? Is that how it goes?

Well at least you were not endangering other drivers. Nothing quite annoys me as easily as an idiot SUV driver who tailgates me on snow on a single lane road. "Yeah I got 4-wheel drive, it can do anything."

I was never as daring as you guys even when I was 19. Maybe because I didn't even have my own car yet, but even when I had my first car I was very careful because I didn't want to wreck my precious baby that I had worked so hard for. You know what I like to do for fun? Going on snow in my wife's FWD Honda on empty residential roads and pulling the hand brake on turns to do power slides. She always freaks out! But there's no chance of a collision because I always go pretty slow, there's no traffic coming, and I understand the physics involved.
