Some Lessons Are Never Learned... OtherS Take ForeveR To FuckinG MasteR...ðŸ˜Ū❗

I like irrational speed; I always have. Yet — supposedly — I'm somewhat educated if you consider University schooling worth anything. But I can't get my head around driving slow. In the last month, I've paid a MAMMOTH price for my arrogance. I thought I was above the law.

The first time I ever felt neck warping acceleration was when I was twenty and drove my friend's Porsche. I hit two hundred miles per hour. We blistered down that brilliantly lit highway in a fantastic blur. The sound of whistling wind, the wild vibration — the feeling of imminent danger — tickled my nerves and quenched my brain with endorphins that I couldn't explain. But I grinned.

With cars I've owned, the best I could do is about a hundred and twenty miles per hour; 'limiters' prevented anything more. But it was enough to give me a rush. Many decades have passed, and I thought I'd mellowed — become more responsible — until last month.

I don't know what's tripped me up.

Luck had created a false sense of security. I felt as if I was untouchable. When I saw the red, white and blue flashing lights in my rear-view... my heart sank. For fuck's sake! What a bitch. Nothing to say; no excuses, lesson learned, right? Act your age — fucktard!

Nope... not me.

One week later, different highway, same result. For fuck's sake — NO! But bad luck and stupidity cluster in threes. Sure enough, six days more, and I'm dishing out my driver's license AGAIN. I tried to look sad and remorseful — it's the ONLY thing I could think of.

I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know why they don't have TWO sets of rules.

One set for those who know and love to drive fast — and are capable — and another bunch of rules for everyone else.

Damn, I keep making the same mistakes over and over again. I'm not looking for sympathy, or advice or anything. I love momentum, and I've realized I'm not cut out for this country and its tepid traffic regulations.

Now Germany; they have the right idea. That nation has exclusive lanes — on their autobahns — with NO speed limit.

I'm a bit distraught... and thinking about starting a 'G.o F.und M.e' campaign; 'Driving School Instructor, hoping to make a difference.' ðŸ˜ķ

..........

You can't discuss anything with a female cop; they're stone cold.

I hear ya on this one, Paul. Put me in the same class. For years I used to 'street race', now with traffic and speed cameras, it's almost impossible, unless you find a quite road someplace. American Graffiti anyone?
I too have a lead foot, and sometimes the track simply doesn't do it, but it should. And while I too have contributed more than my fair share of revenue to the county fund, I can't help but think that when I see the flashing lights in my mirror that it's a challenge to my skill. Alas my days of eluding my pursuers are gone. Damn helicopters.... grrrr..... But in my youth..... *grins*


Paulxx001 replies on 9/30/2021 3:21 pm:
My foot isn't lead. I prefer to view it at designer titanium; strategic and poised for an opening.

Helicopters? Ok... THAT'S wild. Should I ask? ðŸĪ”

I took the challenge to outrun them — once. A twenty-two-wheeler gently weaved into the left lane, blocked my escape and left me dangling. Thank goodness I'm a good 'bullshitter' — I meant 'lucid speaker' — I talked my outta serious consequences, on THAT occasion.
I should seek out a track, but I'm simply looking for open road, in front of me.
You know what I mean.

Helicopters? Kool. ❗❗❗

We all, at one time love to drive fast and see how fast the car can go. Back in the day, there was some young guys that love to race, they was around 21 and 23, to make a long story short, them didn't get and older, and one was beheaded. They both legacy ended that day. This was a lesson, to many in that time in my teens.


Paulxx001 replies on 9/30/2021 3:48 pm:
Hmmm... that's a sad lesson to learn. Of course, by the time you're dead, it's too late to learn it.

Or ya think they have racetracks in... ugh... heaven? ðŸĪ”

Yikes Paul, what happens to your car insurance rates when you get three speeding tickets in a short period of time?

I'm the polar opposite of you and I know for a fact that I annoy other drivers when I follow the speed limit. Especially since the city recently reduced speed limits to 20 mph for neighborhood streets and 25 mph for "artery" streets (32K and 40K in your terms).


Paulxx001 replies on 9/30/2021 4:02 pm:
I've had SUCH a good record with my company for SO many years; I'm expecting leniency.
Perhaps they'll understand and... Uhm... send me for counselling? ðŸĪ”

They do my home insurance as well. I'm hopeful. I promise — if asked — that I'll be a good boy from now on. ❗ 😎

You're probably right; YOU would infuriate me. I'd glare, or not. I'm trying to change. Would you smile back? ðŸĪ”

Is THAT possible? ðŸ˜ķ

my bit of crazy was back in 78..like most of my stories..while on a trip from san diego to la..i,in my 78 280z came up on a 240z...hmmm..fuel injected vs twin mikuni carbs..i looked at him...he at me..and it was on..interstate 5 northbound lit up..my speedo displayed up to 180..didnt miss it by much...oh..the fi vs twin carbs? who knows..we both decided enough was enough at the same time...my final take is..i know better...now...

woop woop


Paulxx001 replies on 9/30/2021 5:20 pm:
The 280, and the subsequent series — were ALL great. I used to watch as they'd rip away from me.

Didn't know about those subtle differences. Still, it sounds like a heart-skipper. And THOSE, are the best. lol 😂
I hear ya.

Damn, there was this one time I tried to face a 300Z with my Honda, 5-speed sport coupe. Damn, what a joke. I was blown outta the water. He, had a sense of humor and slowed down, nodded and waved — before he gunned it into the distance.

There's speed, and then there's SPEED!

You know what I mean.
You still have that classic car? ðŸĪ”

I don't know about the female cops in YOUR local; HERE, they're nasty.

Ya know — good cop, bad cop? The lady police people are fucking tough here.
And their male partners smile ; as if they know it's an act.

Except, it isn't. She never smiled once, and I shot my best, and smoothest lines at her.

Her partner, rolled his eyes. He was nice. Shook my hand. ðŸ˜ķ❗❗

Yikes!!!! I got pulled over doing 95 in a 40mph zone and it cost me over $300. I think 3 high speed tickets that close together might cost you your license, here.


Paulxx001 replies on 9/30/2021 6:18 pm:
I'm only down seven points. It takes sixteen, up here, to loose it.
But, I understand what you're saying. I'm driving like a pussy, right now.
FFS...

Not, a happy camper!
That ticket you got, sounds lean, compared to what it might have cost here. Ya smiled? lol 😂

Yeah... I'm more than a bit ticked off, at myself.

For me... it was motorcycles and drag boats. One I could afford and the other I learned to build fast enough so that other people paid to have it built. 168 MPH on a motorcycle is another world, 130 MPH in a drag boat is achieved in the first quarter mile..... props don't slip or spin in the water.

I would like to say that I learned better.... but the truth is that every motorcycle I ever owned was almost immediately stressed to find the maximum speed. Some of them I only pushed that hard once... others that handled well were repeatedly pushed. It's a thing... either you like it or you don't.


Paulxx001 replies on 10/1/2021 4:59 am:
I don't think I'd be here, if I owned a bike.
Thanks for the boat idea. Damn, that seems fast for travel on water! I gotta find a friend who owns one.
I get, that need for speed! Be safe! 👍 😊

Well, let's put it this way. If you tailgated me and then passed me on the shoulder, in the bike lane, I don't think I would smile, I'd probably look straight ahead hoping not to further provoke you (we had a fatal case of road rage last summer - a softball coach driving with his son was killed by a stranger who he somehow managed to piss off).

On the other hand, if I then caught up with you at the next stoplight, having expended much less gas and brake lining, I might be tempted to smile.


Paulxx001 replies on 10/1/2021 5:03 am:
The shoulder? lol 😂
No, I'm not one of THOSE.
Three lanes — in both directions — here for you to play in.
In any case... I've changed, and become mellow; this week. 😎

I love speed. I also love flying. For years I trained and showed horses to jump. It was glorious. After some falls and horses falling too I had to slow down. Or die. My body pains are pretty much all from horse crashes. I didn't get a ticket riding but the health care cost has been steep.


Paulxx001 replies on 10/1/2021 5:10 am:
Flying is something that I love, but haven't had many opportunities to enjoy with small planes.
Your horse ðŸī experiences sound painful. Boy, you're brave and determined! lol 😂
Good for you! 👍 😊

sadly paul after i got out of the navy i couldnt make the payments on that 78 280..sold it to my recruiter..years later in my 30's i owned a 77 280 for a few years...that 300 you mentioned? probably was a twin-turbo..the honda never stood a chance..the friends porsche you did 200 mph in? the timing sounds right for it to have been a 911..maybe a tiarga?

Speed kills. While you may have been 'lucky' up until now, why keep tempting fate? You have shared stories before about those Montreal female cops. They must have your information on speed-dial now.

Those f-male, vest-flexing, tight-assed, badge-flaunting vaginas in a uniform — have no sense of compassion. They're 'micro-nutzi's' with an overdeveloped sense of self-appointed power and have embraced an apparent blast, of societal induced — inferiority complex.

They, those fem-bots, don't have MY number — they're fucked up, and as I said, lacking compassion.

I've slowed down.
But I hope I won't die in some decrepit nursing home.

I'll be alone, hitting two hundred and more and aiming for a cement wall. What a sight for the morning news. ðŸ˜Ū❗❗👍😎

I've got a lead foot too. I've been stopped quite a few times over the years for speeding but have never received a speeding ticket. I think for me, I'm an instant gratification type of person, I just want to get there, to my destination, in as short an amount of time as I can. It's all about time.

Ha! I'm not a speedster with that high of mph, but I did go from Portland [Northern part of the state] to Grants Pass [southern OR] in about 3.5 hours once. Normally its a four - 5 hour drive.

I blame it on the music back then. I had Aerosmith on the 8-track. lol!

Here in the Seattle area the posted speeds is 60, with more rural parts on I-5 at 70. I usually go 80+...

Ahh ..... Paul, and those were the days, when we were young and totally irresponsible and when we truly must have thought we were indistructable? Guess that means I also used to love zooming away as fast as I could in my youth, even in mountain passes! Plus, I was daring in many other things as well, taking chances and getting away with em! Now, I'll still take the odd chance, guess much like you in your vehicle - hey we have to still have something to tell us we're alive?!
