What is the fastest speed you have ever driven and why?
I have been known as a lead foot back in my younger years. Especially in my early twenties when I worked outside the home at a job that was about a 30 minute drive each way. I honestly don't know if I've ever been on time for anything in my life, so it always seemed like I was running behind when I was driving to work everyday. I cannot count the times (and believe me, I'm not bragging here) that I drove 95 mph on the highway just trying to get to work on time. Somehow, I never got pulled for this and never had an accident. So, just out of curiosity, what is the fastest speed you have ever driven and why?

I've definitely been in a
I've definitely been in a couple 100+ mph cars as a passenger, but I can't say I've driven above 70 myself ( and that was a trip to the ER so it doesn't really count). The physics of the human body stopping at any speed over natural running is more than I like to imagine so I tend to go the speed limit.
I have gotten some crazy
I have gotten some crazy stories but one of the oddest was driving a geo metro (which has 13" tires mind you) and getting it up over 90mph in 3rd! Talk about scary to be testing a new car out with.
I really could not tell
I really could not tell you the speed I have been in as a passenger before. Though being in a viper with a friend who made me grab the O bars you know, it was pretty darn quick. Driving myself? Maybe 115mph or so and it was in younger years too. :)
The fastest I ever went
The fastest I ever went was 110mph down a highway, and the reason? I wasn't driving. I was the terrified passenger who just wanted the idiot with the lead foot to stop.
On the roads I will never
On the roads I will never drive faster than the speed limit because it's just not worth it, and I hate drivers that I see who constantly break this rule, as if they are invincible. I would one day like to go all out on the race track, though… I doubt I could go at record breaking speeds, but then again, I won't know until I try. :p
