I understand and partially agree with you.

To me its seems like its just another rule added to the Forum.

No talk about Street Racing
No Talk about High Speeds
No Talk about Politics


Pretty soon no one will be able to post anything unless it pre Approved.

I dont know, just seems that way to me.

(For the record I havent been over 65, and if I ever do I would like to tell someone about it)

Actually I feel it is just a part of the street racing rule, because it really is the same thing just no other car is involved.... you are kind of street racing the clock...

Can I ask why you felt you had to post this? It's a serious subject you are brushing off like it is nothing... Grow up...

65???????? The interstates are 70mph. You got an SS, I think you can go a little faster than 65. I usually set the cruise at about 74mph.

We aren't overlooking them. Report them.

Not only that, do they not realize we have many young drivers reading these posts and will probably want to go out and duplicate some of these actions..People that have very little driving experience even at highway speeds....
I think it is time to stop posting things like this about ultra high speed on public roadways. It is no better than Street racing posts. but somehow the Mods have overlooked these type posts.

I know this will probably get me cussed and ridiculed, but i think it needed to be said.

Thank you.....

+1000 good advice, Sir.

Kids also see fast speeds/hear about fast speeds in movies, sports, video games, books, and probably a host of different ways. How is that really any different than someone typing it out on a internet forum? I agree with the QQ statement.

I agree, we have mods in place already on this forum. I don't understand why people have to play PTA here and try to police everyone. If you don't like it then move on to another thread. This is a public forum.

Hate to say it fellas, but admitting that you are speeding excessively and driving recklessly on a public forum is not exactly the smartest thing you can do.There are police on this forum you do understand that right? A lot of police.
