So some dude in Detroit went 153 mph on I-75 in an ‘05 Magnum and was promptly arrested. The guy was 21, didn’t explain his actions, and now faces a max fine of six points on his license and 3 mos. in jail. Ouch.

Was it worth it? Either way, those damn cops....

He knew the risk (or at least he should have). No sympathy.

He may be stupid, but he has a good taste in cars.

True :) But stupid is as stupid does (or what the crap they say). I’ve done stuff like that myself, or worse... My point is, you do stupid shit and get caught, you own up and take whatever they throw at you. :)

Indeed. I’ve been lucky.. I got caught doing 100 in a 60 zone.. got of with a warning... have not done that again.

I’m not sure whether you’re a cat or a leprechaun. Possibly both.

So that’s what it takes to get pulled over on 75 around here! Looks like I’m in the clear :)

Neither, just a charming young Norwegian :P The thing is, they never caught me on camera... they had no proof... But the stern warning from the coppers was enough.. I ain’t doing that shit again.

The article says he was initially targeted because he was going 79 in a 70. But hey, it’s your record.

Top speed of that car was 137 mph though, from factory... I had 50 hp more than that.. so yeah.. Young and stupid..

I’ve only had the balls to take my maggy up to 135. I’m impressed, I don’t feel sorry for the g I'm impressed, I don't feel sorry for the guy

Damn. 135 on a track or highway or what?

yamahog > deprecated account 05/19/2015 at 21:00

LOL, only 79? In Metro Detroit you’re practically run off the road doing any less than 80. Must’ve been a real slow night.

Wow. I live in Memphis where traffic moves at 5 above, usually.

Fast wagons must really lure their owners into a strong sense of invis/invincibility when it comes to reaching stupid speeds on public roads. There’s a video out there of a man getting clocked at 144 in a magnum somwhere. drunk theory very plausible

durr here is fast man.

Highway. I hear the first generation srt8s will do 160.

so happy I live in the land of no speed limits. 135 seems so slow now after being able to push it 170 - 190 whenever i feel the need.

I actually drove a Magnum RT last weekend. In Germany even. It felt like a couch at low speeds, I can’t imagine doing 153 mph in one of those boats. Especially on a highway where people aren’t expecting you. He doesn’t have balls, he’s got a defective brain.

Yes, it was intended as a joke. Best read in a Bo Duke voice.

OK good.

I hate that I even had to ask. But frankly I’ve been ruined by the front page and now have trust issues. Made up example:

Stupid FP poster: “Cops are the worst ever, I got pulled over twice and lost my license! Stupid cops!”

Me: “What were you doing?”

SFPP: “I was ONLY doing 27 over and 38 over. It’s not that serious, stupid cops ruined my life!”

Me: “Think maybe you shouldn’t break the law?”

SFPP: “Speeding isn’t breaking the law!”

Ah. Understandable. My brother learned his lesson after getting pulled over doing 19 over out-of-state. One more and it would’ve been reckless driving, but he got off with a $202 fine.
