Enlighten Me! :)
Squid often turns into road-calamari...
I once saw a Chevy Monte Carlo SS (circa 1987 vintage) with enough torque to lift the front wheels off the ground under heavy acceleration.
That was something...
There are old riders and bold riders, but no old bold riders.
That car is freakin sweet!
Nice ride, Jimmyb. Hope all is well. Don't double-charge any more ammo - that could get ugly.
Gah! I absolutely loathe riders like that ... they give the rest of us a bad name ... and then those of us who ride more normally at the easy targets.
We have cities that have passed no motorcycle laws.
We have a state (Florida) about to pass a speeding law aimed at motorcycles (more than a certain amount over the limit, they take your bike).
Of course, I have to admit that I have tested out my motorcycles ... the Silverwing cannot top 103 mph (just kidding, officer) ... but it is just a 600cc scooter. The Goldwing proprts to go as fast as 125 mph but I've not found somewhere to try that yet ... I did see the GPS display 113 trying to catch up to some friends on I-75 south of the Bridge (just kidding, officer) ... and the VTX, without a windshield ... well, I chickened out at 90+ (just kidding, officer) as I thought I was going to be lifted off the saddle by the wind ...
I'm now debating whether to move sizteen large into my 401(k) or add bike number 4 ... an awesome cruiser (Honda Rune)
When I was riding the VTX back from Dallas last year (imagine 1800 miles on a cruiser saddle with no windshield ...), I saw a squid on a crotchrocket on I-70 headed west ... he was riding on his back wheel as far as I could see him in the mirror. Skill ... but stupid ...
Sweet Jesus!
One thing is for sure... if he isn't a damn good motorcyclist, he was just fast-tracking his Darwin Award application that day!
Nice car. I have to admit,
Wow, Haloscan sucks.
What my full comment said was,
Nice car. I have to admit, my car probably couldn't do "60." But if the motorcycle guy wanted to play that way, I'd just go where he couldn't; off road.
Nice ride. I'm still holding out for a 59 T-bird.
My truck tops out, flat-out pedal to the metal, on the Nevada freeway at 92. Verified by GPS.
Wheelies are for popping your front wheel over downed tree-trunks and other off-road trail-junk. 
Reminds me of my old bud Mike's Blackbird- a 1970 Dodge Charger completely stock on the outside, & a race car underneath. Dump tubes, 440 blueprinted hemi, Edilbrock (sp?) manifolds, the works. Snap your dern neck, it would.
OBTW-
If'n you can believe it-
I had a chopped 1958 HD panhead stroker in those years, & I had it clocked at 140 mph by a Vette that had a speedo that would go that big.
Yeah, I was nutz, 'specially w/a 10" over front end & no front brake...
(& it WAS downhill)
That is a really pretty car. 
He's probably pasted across some trees on I-80.
Why am I not surprised you have one? The only made about 50 or so didn't they?
Those were about as close to prefect as you can get...
Nice ride.
I watched a good friend of mine pull a wheelie on a little sport bike when I was first riding. He and I were going about 80 and he pulls a wheelie and passes me like he was standing still. Of course, he's on a GSXR 1100 and I'm on a Harley Sportster so I'm not catching that.
Sure it was crazy, but he's a damn good rider and has been pretty much all his life. As this was nearly 8 years ago, I'm sure he's mellowed a bit, or maybe not.
Nice wheels JimmyB. I could run some gas through your tank if that would help?
NOICE!
jt - Yeah. It's number 25 of 50.
Smack dab in the middle...
Jimmy nice car. I finally had to sell my (weep weep) '96 red Chrysler Sebring. I'd put like 200 miles on it in four years. Man I miss that car. I even had a custom VIN plate on it that said "TIM'S SEBRING". Good thing you didn't get caught. Whose Ohio smokey's are F*&#ers! I know first hand! I hope that guy didn't make a big grease spot. Oh, to be young again and invulnerable (or at least not fear death)...
Hey Jimmy, get out on the road. My Bird is still in Paint Jail (Bodyshop)
I saw an idiot doing a wheelie like that north bound on I-95 a few weeks back. Here in the city thats all you hear during the summer at night...rice rockets flying up and down the Boulevard. Sound like a swarm of bees. I miss my 78 Lowrider.
My little brother Ramoen has a crotch rocket & has doen his fair share of wheelies. I was riding with him a coupla' weeks ago & he took off btu I wasn't readym - I thought I was going to fly off the back end! He's hit about 85-90 with me on the back & around 120 with sis Peanut. Both my brothers & Viking Dad have reached 160 by themselves.
