I always prefer to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. I'd rather drive a Yugo at 85 than a McLAren at 55.In other news about outlandishly useless and expensive vehicles, I saw a McLaren 570S on the way to my dad's yesterday. It is indeed a sad state of affairs when you're driving something like that at a sedate speed.

I don't think those guys should be pretending to be Speed Racer or anything. But when I'm passing a McLaren going 75 mph in my diesel VW.....I always prefer to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. I'd rather drive a Yugo at 85 than a McLAren at 55.

When I was a kid, I really had no boundaries in this regard. I got pulled over by a trooper up north in my first gmc safari. He was so mad, he couldn’t speak clearly. Just took my paperwork and went back to his car. After 15 or 20 minutes another car showed up with 2 guys in it. One of them came up to the window and extracted a promise from me to plead guilty if they wrote me a ticket for 85 in a 55. He said they could rescind it and re-issue the ticket for my real speed at any time. I still don’t know how fast I got that van going. The speedometer only went to 85. It was already pinned when the transmission shifted into top gearI always prefer to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. I'd rather drive a Yugo at 85 than a McLAren at 55.

Me too. When I was 17, I buried the needle on my father's Chrysler on the Seaford-Oyster Bay Espressway. A few weeks later my friend Chet rolled his GTO over in the same spot. It was a miracle he survived that.When I was a kid, I really had no boundaries in this regard.
