Title: Reverend Roger Sermon#10...My shameful addiction to speed
Post by: Orias on March 03, 2003, 05:36:51 PM
I feel uncomfortable while driving if I'm not accelerating. It's something I'm becoming more used to, mostly because it eats gas quicker, but I still love to break speed limits of at least 10 or 20 mph.

I usually ignore the speed limits altogether when I am not in a residential neighborhood.

Don't drive a car myself, but I'm addicted to fast racing games...
If the racing game doesn't have a turbo booster, then I don't want it...

When I'll finally get to actually driving a real car, it'll probably be the same turbo-addicted frenzied behaviour unleashed on the roads

On the subject, wish me luck.  I am trying to beat my personal best in the Batavia, IL to Green Bay, WI run this week.

The time to beat is 2 hours, 47 minutes.

I'm craving the days when the snow and ice melts and I can roam the highways free from any man-made speed limits.

But until them I'm scared out of my mind of getting into any accident (which would mean the end of my car/driving).

There's no slowing down for snow!  Not for a pro-am Cafe racer, anyhow.

Floor it, and trust in Eris.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm all for high speeds, but losing my car's just not something I can risk. The product isn't worth the risk for me. However, once the snow (and more importantly ice) is gone, there will be no holding my speedometer back.

You make a good point, but I have found that if I don't lose my nerve, I never have a problem (well, not often, anyway).

I have also perfected the no-cop zen.  No tickets for 16 years...(of course, now that I've SAID that...)

There will be no "speed" in the New Christian America.

Ox carts have a maximum speed of about 2 MPH.
