Any of you Toyota owners had your Corolla up over a hundred
miles an hour? At night? In the rain? I just know that there are plenty of idiots whose final view on this is going to be "those eye-taluns was goin' over a hunnert miles an hour."

It sounds to me like a heroic Italian died because Negroponte wouldn't change his dinner plans just because the weather was bad. It pisses me off that the arrogant fuck was willing to make our troops go out in the rain to protect his sorry ass, much less that it got someone killed.

1. I don't think my Corolla can do over 90 MPH.
Beyond that speed it might just explode.

2. The next night that it is really dark and rainy go out and push
it to the max, then report back. You owe this to your country, because those eye-ties are gonna say our troops are lying and we need proof to throw in their faces.

3. That would be certain death!
I've already survived being run off the interstate at 65 MPH, being hit by a deer that blew out the driver's side windows while I was driving about 45 MPH and being hit by a speeding college student.

I don't think I'll push my luck. :scared:

7. Never tried it, sorry
I'm never in a hurry so I've never tried it. I think you have to have special tires as my partner yelled at me NEVER to go above 75 miles an hour because apparently we don't have the special high speed tires?


The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72
