2 cars going 120+ mph on the same private road? Doesn't sound very "private".

FuszNissan · 07-17-2010, 04:55 PM

It was in the driveway, that's private

I checked the oil and it is normal, what could possibly be wrong with it. The temps were also like 220-240, so I don't think it was limp mode.

I personally hope that you get stopped by a cop and have your licence taken away before you kill someone.

In the meanwhile, it seems the car has more common sense than you.

yea slow down cuz you might hit those of us that dont run a stop light or turn when should have yeilded or changed lanes without signaling and so on. As we never do anything wrong driving.

370z TT · 07-17-2010, 05:30 PM

I'm careful when it comes to local roads, and I don't run stop signs like you say, but it was late and there was no one on the road. Do you really think anybody would do this in traffic? Sorry I can't help but use my car for what it is meant for every once in a while. I know there are track days, but if there aren't any cars on the road i should be able to have my fun. If you like to go the speed limit and be a law abiding citizen good for you, but please do not tell me what to do with my car. I just wanted a possible solution to my problem and I knew i would have at least one person calling me wreckless.

Of course we all do some things which may be considered careless (although I have never ran a red light).

But there are levels to carelessness, and I think doing 125mph is a pretty serious. I can also get hammered and then do 125mph, that is even worse.

I know my comment was sarcasim as no one ever drives completely perfect and we have all broken a traffic law at one point or two. Its for those who think they are perfect drives.

The autobahn claims less lives than all U.S. interstates combined. It’s not the speed that kills people, its called stupidity / typical American mentality. I’ve driven 145+ on I-4 plenty of times when the conditions have permitted. It’s not legal but plenty safe as long as you’re paying attention.

sonic370 · 07-17-2010, 07:38 PM

Sounds like Nissan just saved u and your car. i'm guessing you were in 4th at 125

The problem with that scenerio is that on the autobahn, the other cars are not traveling close to 100 mph less than you are. What would happen if grandma pulled out 50 yards ahead? It would not matter how much you were paying attention. None of us drive perfectly... but they're different levels of maturity and stupidity here.

Also, there is a big difference between how the autobahn is designed and how the road is actually constructed vs. American pot hole-laden highways.
