Rant mode engaged....
I would be AMAZED if every single person on this board hasn't broken the law in their cars. I would like to see an honest list of everyone that hasn't had their car over 100mph before. And I can also tell you with 100% certainty that if you accelerate from a stop to the posted 55mph at wide open throttle in our cars, that is JUST as illegal as speeding and you can and will get a ticket if you do it in front of a cop. It just amazes me that 90% of the discussions on this board is about how to make your car be able to go faster or be able to handle better when you go faster, and less than 10% of people on this board have ever had their cars on a round track, yet we are talking about someone being an idiot for speeding on a public road. Granted TS took the speeding to excess, which is pretty silly and seems like a teen thing to do. But giving him crap for breaking the rules a little more than we do makes no sense.
And then we have people on the other extreme...

So go ahead and have fun being the sheep.

You have got to be kidding me. Let's remove the speed limit signs and traffic lights and see how long you go without some idiot hitting you. You can't have it both ways, calling people "sheep" because we want traffic lights and speed limits, knowing you would be the first one to bitch if some moron ran through an intersection that had no traffic light and wiped out your RA.
Let's all find a happy medium. Everyone speeds. Everyone breaks the "unsafe acceleration" laws. Just don't be an idiot and don't kill anyone and don't complain when you get busted and don't act like the laws are stupid.
Can't we all just get along..lol
