Ohh man, you're on very same track as I am!! I would LOVE to see triple digit, but Kids need daddy which come first..

Back in 1984, I was driving on highway when I was 15 years old with my oldest brother. I have done 115mph on 1979 Ford Pinto Super Sport on country highway. I felt nothing and it was dang smooth until I check MPH to be sure I'm on track with 55mph because I was passing many cars and said why everyone are slow!! I asked my brother, where's the needle!! We both look and !!! The needle was straight down to no-number zone!!! (Ford Pinto speedo marker only stop at 85mph and rest are blank). It was very funny and that explained why A/C was so cold during hot summer and we were breathing out clouds!!!

I remmy I rode with my co worker on his hot rodded 1985 ford mustang, he did 135mph on highway. I felt a little force on my chest and seeing many cars whizzing by us. I check his speedo, 135mph Yike!! He said he did that often. But his car is much stable than my old 1977 toyota corolla back then LOL. I don't mind riding w/ him again.

Other time my friend drove Nissian Maxima over 115mph and went around highway bridged bend, felt strong G-force and I told him SLOW DOWN cuz I can feel his car was going to slip off the road but luckily, we were at the end of bend to straight in time!! Actually, the highway bridge bend have cement barrier lined up and that was SCARY!! cuz his car was just few inches to the WALL . Shush!! I'd rather ride Ford Mustang than his Nissian!!


Last time I raced with my 1967 chevy C-10 (classic truck w/ 3 speed column shifter), I did 98mph and couldn't go no further. I did pedal to metal. The engine wasn't strong enuf to go faster.

So I experience triple digit before I had kids.
