I got a MY01 when I was younger and MUCH dumber... hit 157 top up and 146 top down. I have no idea how fast my MY07 is... I don't need to kill myself or anyone else.

and then you woke up right?

i would bet money theres nowhere 20k feet up that a cactus would be growing, mt. everest is 29k feet high, and the grand canyon is only about a mile deep (appx. 5k feet)

either im way misunderstanding your story or you forgot to say 'then i woke up' at the end.

either way if it was possible that you were driving in these conditions, you wouldnt be here to tell that story if you dropped 20k feet in your car to a river bottom
yes it did happen. i'm really serious.
i did hit a cactus at 140mph and flip a few times in the air and tumble down the grand canyon. and the mods i have listed are what saved my life so that i can sit here and tell my heroic story.

Did the wing help you glide down the canyon safely? and the towhooks helped when you had to pull the car back up?

I'm not saying there are people out there that have never done something stupid. I'm not even saying I haven't done stupid things in a car. I'm just saying that now that I've wised up, I'm going to call people on it. Because it was people calling me on stupid sh!t that got me to stop. Seriously, after I did my first track day, that straightline bullsh!t got old.
