The biggest problem with driving 100 MPH on the freeway....

Is keeping the liquor in the glass while you're texting about it.

1. Back around 1980, in my 1971 Dodge Charger -- 116 mph at 4:00 AM...

.
.
.
...on a deserted stretch of Interstate and stone cold sober -- having
gone out for the express purpose of seeing what she could do (and I
stopped short of her best as the engine wasn't the BEST-maintained
in the world and I didn't want to blow her up for a few extra mph).
.
.
.
Cracked 100 mph on a motorcycle only once in my life (to be able to
say that I did it). I was probably 15 or so (pre-license)... no helmet...
on the periphery of suburbia -- what a stupid unthinking asshole I was
at that moment.

But it WAS way cool.

4. I remember being in the back seat of one of these:

going about 120. And then somebody PASSED us. :yoiks:

Luckily nobody was drinking...yet.

5. About 20 years ago I was driving a rented Mercedes on the autobahn

I picked it up at the Frankfurt airport, drove to Munich and back over a 3 week period. After several days of driving I finally found a spot with little traffic and a nice flat straight stretch of highway. I buried the gas pedal and just let 'er go until it wouldn't accelerate any more. The speedo stopped at 210 kph. At the time I had no idea how fast that was in mph, but I knew I didn't want to go any faster (on the ground at least).

2. P J O/Rourke

Who I no longer can stand to listen to as he gets more and more Republican while claiming to be a Libertarian, had a book years ago about his college days. One chapter title was along the lines of "How to drive very fast while a teenage girl is pulling down your zipper with her teeth without spilling your drink." You might want to check it out, MrScorpio.

3. Here's a solution that keeps your hands free but gets you to where you want to go....

Ok mind you it gets you to where the pig wants to go but you're drunk so you probably won't notice!

6. Mr Scorpio knows where HE wants that pig go go.

7. That's doable, but lighting a cig at the same time might be a bit reckless. n/t

8. Maybe not such an exaggeration...

Today while I was walking home I saw a woman sitting behind the wheel of her rather large SUV/van with her right hand holding her cell phone to her ear. Her left hand was stroking her long blonde hair.
Yes, granted she was stopped. But what if someone had rear-ended her? (It was a busy, urban three-point intersection and she was pointed straight at the dead end cross street, so she could have taken out people crossing from both directions.
I also noted that she was really too old to have very long bleached blonde hair, but that could just be my occasional Church Lady gremlin surfacing.
I have to be careful as a pedestrian crossing at this particular intersection. Some day, when I yell at somebody drifting through while chatting on their cell phone, I'm gonna get run over, most likely.
ON the other hand, it's kinda fun being a crotchety old lady.
