And if you want to be dead sure, just get your engine ECM printout, it will show, the highest speed, you've ever traveled! :wink:

1,000,000 miles / 39 months = 25,641 miles per month. Care to explain how you managed that? :roll: I smell B.S.

You can get to "115" mph No problem (now where is that nitro button....) Sounds like you are need for speed buddy Lol, nascar for you. (I had to add that to keep this interesting thread going) lol. you just burn up more fuel anyway, and get there like what 10mins faster? lol plus putting everyone's life on the line, you see If you tip over. (even if the road is clear) you will have this huge mess that will cause a giant backup. maybe you will get news time. then we can sit here open a new thread and talk about it Lol. but anyways drive safe thats all. no Need for Speed around here lol.

Going back to yoop's comment on the steer blow out, if the show ever happens to be on again, check out the World's Worst Drivers on TLC. One of their episodes had a truck in the UK going down the road at around 45 mph when he had a steer blow out. The driver did an unbelievable job at keeping the truck not only on the road but off the cars that were directly beside him on the side the steer blew out. I think he just barely left his lane before reeling that hulk back under control. At 45 mph he nearly lost it, at 115 mph, you WILL lose it.
Don't be saying a steer blow out will never happen to you, tires will blow without warning. I had a drive suddenly pop even though it was brand new, turns out a vulcan patch had been put over a hole in the sidewall by the tire maker. Nothing I could do to prevent it from blowing as it was something that I could not see.

"So what have you had your rig up to?
 "[insert self righteous bullshit here] fapfapfap So some states had no speed limits for quite some time. So that idiot from Europe claiming every country on the entire continent was limited to 55, hell with the autobahn. So that guy that builds rigs to run Pike's Peak at record speeds and runs the Bonneville salt flats at 225 and gets mad props for it.
