Raced him on Cross Island from Linden Blvd..

i stayed with him at 120 around corners.. but as soon as i got to that stretch before the throggs neck bridge that long straight away.. he left me like i shut the car off and pulled over on the side of the road.. he had to have been up to 150.. because i was at 130 and he just took off..

 

You seem to like that 130 number lately.

 

no limiter

 

but it was fun anyway...wasn't it?

 

yes i loved every moment of it

 

yes i have seen them

 

Any amount of "hanging" with a C5 is good... Yea at 130 he would leave you, whats the top speed on those? 160 or so? lol, I was toying with a yellow Z06 on the highway a couple weeks back. I kept blocking him in traffic so he couldn't pass me. It was really funny until he got that gap in traffic and then pulled away faster then I ever thought possible...Those cars are extremely fast...and mine's really slow. Bad combination.

A standard C5 coupe will run 176mph at redline in 5th...6th is too steep to pull. The Autos are close...in the low 170s. Nice run

 

i am not sure.. it looked darked color.. i thought it was black.. but then again we were both moving at 120 mph..

sweetsound.. i didn't spray on him

 

The C5 is a 12 to 13 sec et car with 170 top end. I am sure you would be safer and smarter to try it at the track.

 

who cares i bet it was fun. whats the point of smokin civics an camry's all the time?

 

You my friend and your other ambulance-driver-friend [medisonic] have a healthy disrespect of speed-limits.

 

That's MedicSonic. and I am a PARAMEDIC, not an ambulance driver.

 

same thing?

 

No.

 

Hey, my ship was going to send 2 of us to the EMT course and get certified but things fell through and some putz got to go.. Too bad, he didnt pass the course and they wasted money on him. Are EMT's and Paramedics the same? I'm a former health care worker also, so to speak. I was a licensed embalmer in the state of Texas.

 

Ok, here it goes.

Lowest on the EMS 'scale' to highest:

1.)Bystanders
2.)Certified First Responders, usually firefighters and cops.
3.)EMTs:They can use a limited number of LIFE SAVING ONLY drugs, such as epi, nitroglycerin and albuterol. They use automatic defibrillators.
4.)EMT-Intermediates:They can manually defirillate/shock, and can start IVs.
5.)EMT-Critical Care:More drugs than the intermediates
6.)Paramedics: can give many drugs, can do the IVs and shocking, can do intubation(put the breathing tube in someone's windpipe), can do crics (cutting a whole in your throat in case the breathing tube cannot go through), can decompress a pneumothorax (collapsed lung), can do critical care transfers (people on ventilators and various drugs, people usually in the ICUs of hospitals), and give selected narcotics to people.
6.5)Critical Care flight RNs:They are a supplement to paramedics, but HAVE to be cross trained as either a EMT or Paramedic. They do premature baby transfers.
7.)Flight doctor

Calling a paramedic an 'ambulance driver' is akin to calling the pilot of a plane the flight attendant. The skills necessary and level of training are MUCH harder. While one of the people does 'drive the ambulance', but are certified to do EVERYTHING the other can do.

 

I thought Paramedic's jumped out of airplanes to save people's lives?

 

Those are PJ's (Air Force Pararescue) Their motto is "That others may live" they were the guys in The perfect storm

 

Don't take me serious on this one. I owed medic that response from on he added to my thread.

 

Anyone else in the health care field in your family? My mom was a surgical RN, my sister-in-law is a Pediatric Nurse (she helped deliver our baby girl), my neice is a physical therapist, my 2nd cousin is a veternarian. I was the oddball and elected to go into Mortuary Science. I loved embalming and was very good at it. Unfortunately, when I joined the Navy, my recruiter said my embalming skills were worthless and stuck me with a job I didn't like.

This is the second time I post this, first time it magically didn't post for some reason..

 

My uncle is a ER doc, and his wife is a PA in the same hospital. Everyone else is doing something in the social sciences field.

 

I see you have never been over the speed limit eh?

 

He's been to 140 in his car.

great use of the search feature.. i don't know which one is better.. you catching him being a hypocrite or me catching our G Ride.. i think this one is better

 

Bill would be proud.

 

Haha great one medicsonic i knew you would pull that upwink .

I may be hypocrite but wasn't it you who was complaining that sprintmax's cousin in the Lexus gs 400/430 [sp] was not willing to travel over 120mph Trained to save lives but encourages reckless driving?

I also remember somebody RACING an ambulance to 90mph was it not a POWERSTROKE. Ohh by the way sorry for the misunderstanding but who really drive's that ambulance i mean drive it. So technically you are still a ....ohh well .

Don't let this post get to you it's all a joke.

 

he wouldn't go over 120 because he can't drive around corners.. duh.. he has done 150 in his GS before on a straight line..

and stop it.. you are a speed deamon.. i can see it
