A VERY STUPID AND IDIOT KID [edit] COULD HAVE KILLED MANY PEOPLE . NOT SYMPATHY FOR THESE IDIOTS.
Pedal to the metal! Morons n dipsticks everywhere these days
POTUS will not be amused by this.
Crazy people out there
NO Doubt especially the last few days!!! I’m wondering if there’s something in the air or water or…???
My corolla will do 120 all day long. It’s a very light car. Average speed on the I-5 on my way to LA keeping with the speed of traffic flow was 90-95. It was shocking and almost kind of scary. Cars go fast these days. But 120 around here, asking to wreck. But that was his top speed, he might have reached it at the end of a long straightaway, but he didn’t maintain it long on these roads for sure
Do you ever take it off any sweet jumps?
There are scooters that do 120, when I was a kid ,I would have passed this guy doing a buck fifty on my way to work
LOL!
I was thinking that too. Maybe 80
A Prius can go 100? Must be hopped up…
Damn. Psychopaths are everywhere these days
It was a Corolla.
I have a Prius I use to commute for work, surprisingly it can go 110 mph * according to the booklet of course* but try going up a hill good luck :/
lol
You may say I’m a dreamer…
Can I have his car?
Our Corolla is FAST AS FUCK!
Dam people slow down. Glad no one was injured
Only thing missing from article is WHY. ?
It’s the “y” chromosome, that’s why. That’s why it’s the “y” chromosome, you’re always asking “why?” All my fan(s) know that, as I’ve said for a long time.
Good one…and so true! giggle
i was northbound 101 by fortuna yesterday cruise set at 75 just picked up my cell to see any messages when i thought thats just as bad as texting right then a big blast of side wind almost pushed me off the road not a lot of noise from it, more like a explosion because it was there then it was over he had to have been doing 130 it looked like a late model camero, man that guy was pickin them up and puttin them down, reminded me of the night i was fry on acid and 120 past arcata drive in and dots burger bar,a few cops sitting there didnt even look, a 69 charger , now those were the good ole days right there
Never forget the night, toasted on good weed and Coors, South of Davis, wayyyyyyy out in the boonies… 140 in my ’70 Roadrunner.
Never did THAT again, still makes me feel stupid…
I HAVE a Corolla, and I bet it won’t do 90.
Drive SOBER! Slow down, enough people get killed as it is…
Why should anyone drive sober when people go on and on about it being so memorable to be intoxicated and drive fast?
Lol only 120 that’s nothing anymore I do 140 in my pickup for fun only when safe of course
somebody you must have missed the part that said “frying on acid while doing 120” its undescribable just take a moment to wonder what that was like.
somebody, 140 in your pickup? i call bullsh**
That time of day there are tons of people on the road driving to work and school. Small miracle there was no collateral damage or injury.
A comment
Where was he going ?
Please deport
Novato doesn’t have a port.
Novato is “cop land”. All cops from sf and Oakland live there
Send to the island of misfit boys since that is where they send boys that no one wants.
