No reason to be going that fast. Too many things can go wrong, and you are taking the lives of others into your hands.

I did stupid things like that when I was a teenager, but he’s old enough to know better. And I would never post it online. I’d put money that he drives a Challenger or Charger.

Edit: nvm. Cooler car than expected. Still dumb.

Wonder if it is the same Joseph Tavella from this story: https://www.thehour.com/norwalk/arti...ls-8233156.php

Can't be. This Joseph Tavella is 36, meaning he was born in 1987. The Joseph Tavella in the art you linked started working for the district as an electrician in the 1990s. Could be father/son, however.

I got up to 140 mph on the Merritt once. It was empty but still very stupid, I know.

High speeds are tricky there (and most places) with deer. The only spot they can be avoided is the bridge between Milford and Stratford.

Even stupider, about 160 for me on a Japanese crotch rocket. That was a long time ago. Chalk it up to youth, frontal lobe not yet fully developed.

Note: no longer edit checking fat finger typos or annoying iPhone autocorrect tool changes

And we let these people vote. If they aren't allowed to drink, maybe they shouldn't vote.




Back in the day, we could drink at 18 but had to wait to age 21 to vote. Too bad we reversed these.

Only in America can you get a $100,000 bond for speeding.

The bond for most murderers is not that high.

Then we also need to raise the age when men must register at the Post Office to 21. If we ever amend that, I say let's include women, too.

I saw on the news that the state is testing out speed cameras, mostly in construction worker zones, where a written warning is the first offense, followed by a monetary fine. Personally, I'm all for this. Not saying it will solve all our problems, but it's not bad start. And to those who say it's an invasion of privacy, please remember there IS no privacy in this country anymore.
