Aww, we've all "stretched our legs" on a city street before; no harm done. I kind of liked it.

Looks like you keep missing shifts, or putting in neutral...??

No missed shifts. In neutral playing with my stick.

Nice car, nice day, nice passenger.

I never cease to be amazed that people will post a permanent record of their propensity for reckless driving on the Internet. Apparently they can't imagine that it may be used against them if they're ever in an accident where they might be at fault.

Good point.... I guess its the chance I take for trying to share the experience with others. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt me.

If it makes you feel any better, it's much harder than most people think to get prior bad acts admitted in to evidence.

patrickt,
My comment was directed more at civil suits than criminal prosecution. In seeking punitive damages, I can envision a litigator using video to show that someone has a history of reckless driving.

Good point Tommy. If you read some of threads from "down under", the Federales monitor this kind of stuff.

I'm all for a spirited run here and there, but not on a road where someone might pull out into traffic. Let's face it, you're not always going to be at or under the speed limit, but use your head where you decided to open it up.

Native1,
One way to avoid all of the potential problems assoicated with high speed activities on public streets is to do on the track. I suggest you visit the Deep South Cobra Club pages on this site and read up on the upcoming Track Day events. You can have a lot of fun while exploring what you and your car can do in a relatively safe environment. Then post some videos of your track experience.

OMG give it a rest...as if they cops have the time and or patience to go through a bunch of websites etc to see if there MAY be a video of the gentleman doing something illegal. By the way I will have to go look at the vid again but can you actually SEE that he is doing a 100? Cripes who really cares ... hope ya had fun!
sheesh man relax ...
AND even if they were in a accident where the MAY be at fault ...what the heck would this video have to do with that particular accident? Nothing as I see it?

Exactly what life is all about,and the very reason why most of us have these hot rods,Rock on! The wife will not ride with me when I feel the need for speed. Makes me crave for dry roads!
