(60,212 posts)21. 110 in a Chrysler minivan
My boss and I were hauling some stuff down to the Salton Sea. We were out in the middle of the desert in Southern California. It was dark and he'd fallen asleep.
I was tooling along and I looked down and went "Oh shit!"
I didn't tell him about it, and the next day he was like "Thanks for driving last night. The old beast doesn't like to get much above 60 when she's loaded like this."

I did well over a buck 20 in my 68 Galaxie fastback (still have her) - pegged out at 120.

Yes, it was very exciting. I think once I brought the car to a halt it took me a while

Somewhere between 160 and 170MPH on Daytona's 'high bank'. Was autocrossing
