My smart is my second car ever. My High School stable was a little different. Meet the 2001 Kia Rio! My noble first car. :)
It has a build date of October 30th, 2000 and as of current, it’s still sitting in an auction yard because nobody wan
ts to buy it. Current auction price is actually $300 more than what I paid for it!
It was a craptastic car, but I’d buy it back in a heartbeat. It had so much character.
Also, Chicago Union Station to Six Flags in 19 minutes.

Also, Chicago Union Station to Six Flags in 19 minutes... in a Kia, right? Not a helicopter?

It was midnight and I reached a sustained speed of 110mph...
I tried to beat the record right before selling the car. The wheel bearings started screeching halfway through. Such scared me enough that I never ever tried setting a speed record ever again.

I guess midnight has a lot to do with it.
I’ve made that drive in an Audi R8 and got nowhere near triple digit speeds.
