Rami, I am surprised that you got mad and told Sean (slingshotrx7) how he was super irresponsible and what not when he got a DIU charge but it's ok for you to admittedly drive 140mph on public roads "every time you drive"
So whats with that? Like your 140mph isn't just as dangerous if not worse than a 30mph zone pull over and getting a DUI?
Anyway I just had to point that out, No offence I still like ya :P

Dave,
Cuz 140 on an open road, eg. 4 lane highway, is VERY diff from driving back home (ie through regular populated streets and areas, not to mention whatever residential area you live in) while you're seeing everything fuzzy and/or double...
Also, 140 on an open road is you just flyin by. You hit a deer or somethin, you die, not ppl around you. You driving drunk = you all over the lanes, including prob driving against traffic, running stop signs, etc. All sorts of mayhem.
Granted, I can't say it's "ok" to drive that fast on regular roads, as it's def. reckless, but I think it's a stretch to say both are the same. One involves being in control, and the other is no coordination or control.
EDIT: Oh yea, and don't worry, I know you just like to bust pplz ***** Dave

LOL...don't ask me why Dave, but I KNEW you were gonna say that.
You know, I could be wrong, it could have been Bob's car...was it Bob, Kev, and I that did that 150mph+ run? Cuz I remember they hit 150 then let off, and I was like eh...what the hell, might as well beat my record at this point (used to be 155) so I took it up to 165.
Then a few seconds later, I asked on the 2-way how fast you guys got, and I got the response was "we took it up to 150...it was too unstable at that speed so we backed off" or somethin like that, and I responded how my car felt rock solid stuck to the ground.
But yea...my bad if it was Bob, not you.

Oh, yeah, actually, Adam and I were in the back saving fuel and talkin about hoes when you guys were doing those runs. I reckon we were also checking every suspicious set of headlights to make sure they weren't something to worry about and kept yall asses from ending up like Charlie did 20 minutes out that Sunday night.
The unstable crap came from the guys who didn't get an alignment and I believe Bob's tires were trash.....and probably still are. I had done my full suspension, new tires, and gotten it all aligned for that trip so I was fine. I wasn't fine on the way up to Harrisburg a couple weekends ago when my tires overheated and the car started to yaw out on that onramp off of 495. But that's a different story. I'm just starting to get a little annoyed with not having my car tuned yet. And to top it off I'm going to have to pull the fuel system and squeeze in some insulators for the primary injectors before I even try to get it tuned. I guess I'll tackle that right after exams this week, but I'm really not excited about it. Maybe I'll go ahead and order a single kit while I'm doing that work. I just know I'm gonna end up spending too much money this summer part shopping.
