Faster than I could EVER imagine driving

OK, speed freaks, feast on this. As noted in the supporting article, it's footage of a Bugatti Veyron sports car doing high-speed runs on an open road somewhere in the desert of either northern Mexico or, based on the presence of a state trooper at the end, southern Arizona. But this is high speed like you've probably never seen before outside of a racetrack.

I don't think I can imagine ever going that fast. The fastest I've ever driven is probably about 95, when I was younger and stupider and in a big hurry to get somewhere. My younger brother once told me he had put our parents' 1965 Ford Mustang over 100. And that's less than half as fast as these guys were going!

The Yahoo! blogger proposes that anyone with enough money to own one of these cars should also have enough money to rent some time at a test track to wind it up, but I can see why this was tempting. For one thing, no need to make any significant turns -- at least, not on the highway shown -- and thus the prospect of mile after mile running at or above the "double-century" mark. It must have been exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. I must admit to curiosity about how expensive that ticket was, though. Time of your life, eh kid?

Fast driving is not a safe driving. Every time we position behind the wheel, we should always bear in our mind that safety is more important.

Can't argue with you at all, Bromsgrove. Just thought this was interesting, not exemplary in any way.
I grew up in metro New York, where traffic congestion is a way of life. Sure, there are a lot of accidents, and there's a lot of aggressive driving, but I sometimes wonder if the relatively open roads of Toledo aren't equally hazardous in their own way. A lot of people here schedule their trips as if they will get where they want to go unimpeded by other motorists or traffic lights, much less incur delay from accidents, bad weather, or construction. The result is a lot of very dangerous driving when Mother Nature or a new construction zone interferes with their tight schedules. In New York, Washington, Chicago, and other big cities, one actually has incentive to plan trips to avoid rush hours whenever possible, and to allow extra time when rush-hour travel is unavoidable.

With a car tht expensive and powerful, there's no way you'd pass up the opportunity to open her up (in a safe environmement of course!) - what a ride baby!! WHOOSH!
