All in a days work........

In the past 25 hours, I have logged 240 work related miles All this mileage is just tooling around the metro area and it's outskirts. I haven't had much time to post lately because I've been working more as of late.

I took a Garmin Screen shot with my cell camera on the way home.....only 1.9 miles to home!!

Check out my high speed for the day Can you find it? I was on a straight stretch of country road in the middle of nowhere and couldn't resist the urge to punch the gas a little. I kept gassing it until I got scared.....LOL (I had an apt. waaay out in BFE today) That little country road wasn't exactly the smoothest road for that kind of speed either! There were no other cars or intersections in sight, so nobody except myself was at risk.

Just saying......

Just curious, I wonder if the SS has 150 in it? My GTP has seen 133 with not much room left in 6th gear. (CAI, Chipped, exhaust) My pops has a GP GXP that would be similar to the SS, I think they have the same engine, but I've never opened her up. She's a lot of fun to drive though. I think being an auto would keep the top speed down a bit... I dunno...

I think it may have 150 in it...

Thanks to Youtube idiots...... I know it hits 140 without too much effort.

There is definitely a little (not a lot) of headroom beyond 140mph.... This guy hits it hard....and lets off the gas for a long time before the needle drops below 140.

There is definitely not a lot of headroom beyond that....as you can see by the Tac.

Based on that, I'd say it'd do 150. cool video and yeah, that was pretty idiotic.. they were 140+ for a long time..

All I have to say is 119 is plenty scary fast enough on a backwoods country road......

How do they reimburse you for your business mileage? Last year (well, for half of it), the IRS was allowing a deduction of about $.60/mile and the other half of the year it was abot a dime less.

Couldn't see the units- I thought it was Km/hr which, unless the road was really bad, wouldn't be too bad because it's less than 75MPH..
