Well remember my friends have Mexico plates on their cars so dont know if its different if we have us plates on ours, punishment might be different . But i havent crossed again in a long time those highways are full of drug smugglers and kidnappers now with all the drug related violence down there, they are kidnapping as well way to dangerous to take nice cars and attract attention. Man it used to be great back in the day .

Damn criminals, getting in the way of enthusiasts doing 200mph runs on the open road.

I want to do the Ohio mile...

Fastest was actually in this car. 105~MPH. In my previous car, probably 85. I didn't trust it at any higher speeds.

Speed really isn't a big deal to me. I'd rather enjoy curvy roads.

Won't say where but I will say I was an absolute idiot at the time.

About 80 mph in my FR-S, thus far... Hahahe... Don't have any motivation to take my car higher than that on a public highway.

Although on the track, it's a totally different ball game, hehe.

I've gone 140mph in a 2012 Audi S4; it was limited at 155mph but I guess I didn't have the stones to explore it... How shameful; Even James May has gone over 200mph! Also done 135mph in a 1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo and 130mph in a 1989 MR2 Supercharged (bad idea, it was on original suspension!). All on closed courses, of course...
