130mpg when i had my 03 IS.. totalled a month after.

As for that dude.. RIP..

should not bring anyone but yourself when goin in high speeds like that. I learned that the hard way.. But If you are down to kill yourself in high speeds, PLEASE do it alone.. Don't involve the innocent.

Definiately a solo activity. There's no space in your mind for anything other than what you should be focused on if you're playing at the edge.

I got to like 120 but got kinda scared cuz my tires rub. I only push it when theres little or no cars on the road. Prolly be an easier target for cops too.

My gf drove my car for the first time on saturday and didn't realize the greater amount of power compared to her focus and got a speeding ticket. Her parents are crazy to so she got her car taken away and she is grounded until june. She was only going 80 but in a 65 zone.
