All True! When I see 55 it's usually at WOT

My minimum speed is 65 on the highway. But yeah back to the whole fuel issue. I mean come on guys you paid more money to drive the SS version and you should know that turbo cars love premium. Do yourselfves a favor and just run premium in it otherwise trade it in fot a 2.2 or some ****.

re

The incident happened while on a long drive from Albany, New York to Lake Placid. Sammy was on his way to meet up with his family at their cabin. He was caught in a speed trap. The cop ticketed him for doing 62 in a 55. As his took the ticket, Sammy looked at the cop and said “I can’t drive 55.” Viola the hit was born.


62??? pppffftt.....

I know I Red the book.

If you have not seen his book Red get it and check out. The story on his 150 MPH trip down the PCH to LA. It is only something Sammy could get out of.
