181? Not even close for me! 147 in my 69 Chevelle, 135 in my 2003 Nissan Altima, and 120 on my 77 RD400 motorcycle. It took me a long time to get from 118 to 120 on my RD400 and had to blow a 4 way stop sign to do it. It was early in the morning and not another soul in sight.

I've lost the cops 6 times

I've given up on high speeds, and it's about time.

Excellent review. Thanks. I have four speeding tickets with my 1966 Mustang for doing around 80 mph on Ventura Fwy. south at Lindero Canyon. The traffic school teacher told me three times, “Good to see you again.” Tickets? Yes, before I learned to drive responsibly.

We were somewhere north of 120 in a souped up car from the auto shop class. Speedometer looked like it was trying to register over 130, but we both chickened out when the front shimmy became a roaring bounce.

The engine in that car ended up in a different car, and ended up placing in the top 3 at UIL state competition (second place I think).

Life really looks different once you realize that one is not invulnerable.

That, and answering questions from parents about why you threw out a perfectly good pair of underwear, if no girls or alcohol was involved.

You have a ‘69 Chevelle? You’re a lucky duck! I take it that it is an SS 454, right? What color?

I may have hit 165 in a vette once. or twice. or maybe not. It may have still been pulling like a mule at 165 too. or then again, maybe not.
