We were discussing this last Friday at work, all of us here are pretty much in agreement that there isn’t a Prius on the road that will do 100mph.

Are they sure he wasn’t borrowing his sister’s Mazerati?

Sounds like Albert Arnold Algore III and the odious Kennedy spawn have lots in common - speeding, drugs, alcohol... Can sex with a minor be far off for Algore III? He just has to follow the Kennedy lead. What is it about the children of the wealthy and powerful that makes them such nitwits?

You could drop a Prius from space and it wouldn’t get to 100 mph.

I asked the mechanic who works on my Jeeps what he thinks of the Prius. He stated if they’re middle aged men, they’re probably a “fag”. I had to think about this deep concept, but at the end had to concede that he’s probably correct.

What if there were a secret underground conspiracy to supply all the elite Liberals with the supercharged Porche models with a Prius shell and sell the others to the regular folks. Then again if it didn’t sound so ridiculous... /s

As one who used to write speed tickets on I-15 in San Diego County--The cheapest car out there will do 105 MPH. Remember Ford Festivas? radar speed one night= 108 MPH.

Underground Prius racing clubs know that if you string 105 9 volt batteries in series you can acheive 100 mph going downhill with the interior stripped clean and at altitude

There is no “Golden State Freeway” in Orange County, thank you very much. The 5 is known as the Santa Ana Freeway until you get north, in LA around Dodger Stadium.

I was passed by a Prius on the 405 the other day that had to be doing around 85 - 90 miles per hour. I thought the guy was going to hit me as he roared up on my tail and darted between me in the fast lane and another car to my left in the carpool lane. Not very Eco friendly, if you ask me.

One question I would ask is if the arresting officer wasn’t exaggerating the speed or adding some extra speed on the ticket to made it more dramatic.

I got a speeding ticket from a Kentucky state policeman. He added 10 mph onto the speed. He wouldn’t let me see the speed on his radar gun. With that extra 10 mph, my speeding ticket then turned into reckless driving. It cost about $700 and increased insurance.

The small podunk town was just into screwing tourists on the interstate. The tickets were just a way to generate revenue.
