How fast? What vehicle were you driving/riding? What city/state was it?
Was it worth it and would you consider doing it again?

Here is mine:
155mph (top speed run), 2002 CBR600 F4i (sportbike), Los Angeles area (Upper Big Tujunga Canyon rd. has a super long straight with no traffic)
Yes it was worth it, no I would not do it again!

Edit: i'm just joking am I?

Not too far over 100mph in a car.
But I did get up to around 80+ mph on a Vespa scooter on I-10 in the middle of Houston.

Vespa cannot do 80mph, it would probably disintegrate

130+??? in my 87 Mustang 5.0 about 24 years ago. I was following a 84-89 Vette on
I-45 from Dallas. I hung with him for several miles, even with 4 people in my car until I decided to drop back to about 70. The speedo stops reading at 85, but the needle continues moving until it hits the trip odometer peg which is about 120. When I let off the gas, it remained pegged for at least 5 seconds. Traffic was clear, but I was young & stupid and I won't do it again on a public highway. I would love to get out on a real racetrack though!

He was probably on the hood of one of our Houston drivers!
