1969 Mustang Fastback. Looked almost identical to this one…



It was my bother’s. Our grandmother bought it for him for his 16th birthday. Had the 351 Windsor engine. That thing would fly.

Can't remember the year, but it was a 90's model Nissan Maxima. Got up to 115 before the governor kicked in.

Mother had a 73 or 74 Cadillac Coup de Ville. Used to take my sister to LC every week and on the way back one week put the cruise on 105 on Hwy 171 north. This was around 9/10 at night during the week.

1993 Ford Mustang 5.0 Notchback

This was in 1995 my sophomore year of high school. Second day I had it I pinned the 140 mph speedometer. Got a ticket about a month later doing 99 in a 55 (I was actually doing about 115 but slammed on brakes as soon as I saw the cop shooting radar) ticket was $236 back then. Wonder what that would be now for a 16 year old? $1200?

1992 BMW 325i. Topped out at 128 quite a few times. My mom had a 1988 Merc 420. I got it up to 120 a few times. It could go faster, but that thing was a fricking boat.

I was a dumb teenager. Lucky to make it where I am in life.

Couldn't go much over 100, but I did.


That had to be going downhill with a tailwind A friend in high school had an old 2002 and we'd rag the shite out of it. Lime green, too.

1966 Chevy 4-dr Caprice. 396 cubic inch engine with an aftermarket, Holley 4-barrel carb.

Scared myself out of ever doing it again when I fishtailed and nearly lost control after crossing a short bridge over a creek. I was 18 years old.
