Exhilerating experience!

I love coming home for the holidays b/c my parents live out toward the edge of town where there's a bunch of winding roads that you can see way down. Anyway, there's this awsome stretch near my place that goes up hill and winds with a beautiful 'S' turn going gradually uphill. Tonight, on my way home from Wal-mart I poped in my favorite "go-fast" CD and shot through the turns like sperm through a virgin The speed limit through this area is 35 and I blew through going faster than I had ever gone before, like 70! I don't have any suspension mods or anything, but I'm amazed at how well the stock suspension held on for dear life. I was going so fast that I went all the way through the second curve sliding from the in-side of the road close to the out-side of the road and my heart was beating faster than all those pistons combined. Mad props to those Nissan engineers!
I only drive like this when there's noone else in the car and I can see that noone else is coming down the road, so I do play it safe (kinda). Happy driving!

that's actually about 11 hours from here i think - at just about normal speed anyway. i'd probably do it in like 8, even though i just got pulled over for doing 90 - oh well. i only have to go a few hours and stay in fl though to get some nice roads.

You guys need to take a trip through Texas, we have some great winding roads but also if you ever wanna know EXACTLY where your car tops out, it's not hard, i've driven several roads that run for MILES in almost perfectly straight lines Gotta love living in the second largest state...

You live in/near Lexington don't you? I live in Louisville. I think that we've talked before, but that was during the summer. I know how these roads are in Kentucky - Crazy! When I used to live in Wisconnsin, I was so bored b/c all their roads are straight and in a graph form (square blocks).
Have you moded your car any since I last talked to you? I haven't done much of anything, but change the tranny oil and get Xeon headlights - they look GOOD! See you later man.
