Bucket List

[ferider]

6. Find a V8 from the 80s or 90s (before speed limiters) at a used car dealership, take it for a test drive on the freeway outside of rush hour. If you get pulled over be very polite, they will usually reduce the speed by a lot... then the DA will let you plead to something even lower. Once I got pulled over for doing about 140 in a 55... the trooper wrote me a ticket for 79... DA reduced it to "failure to obey a sign." lol

Don't. Once you are faster than twice the speed of others on the road, and they are allowed to pass on the right, it's not fun anymore.

Just fly to Munich, spend a couple of days, and rent a car. Go from, for example Munich to Garmisch and back after midnight. Watch your mirror, somebody might want to pass you Or go to the Nuerburgring.

My bucket list is confidential Been bungee jumping.

I want to...

-go base jumping (couldn't bring myself to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, but maybe a cliff would be easier)

As an FAA certified aircraft mechanic, I will advise you that there is no perfectly good airplane.

Feel free to control your own descent back to Terra Firma, my friend.

Cliffs are harsh mistresses.

Once you get up around 130, it's like everything slows down...

The key is to have good tires. Cheap rubber softens and starts to elongate as sustained high speeds.

Yea, I had my VMAX pegged at 145 on some remote freeway in idaho and passed a couple troopers going the opposite direction. All they did was flash their headlights lol

I've done 4, 5, 6 7, 9 & 10 and have no ambition/interest in doing any of the others but kudos to anyone else who does.

Sorry. Dup deleted.

I don't do it often but there really should be a way to allow members to self-delete dups here.
