when i got 140, it was late at nite, so the air was colder.. i think that would have somewhat of a difference seeing that its 90+ outside right now.

the empty gas tank probably helped your speed but its really risky to do that since you were going 100+mph for quite a while and burning a ton of gas

So do you have at least one budy with a video camera. put the camera in the car. set it on record. Aim it at the speedo and have at it. When your done, let me know and Ill give ya a place to send the tape. Sure bet we could all use a good laugh at some in-car video of you trying to prove your speed and bustin parts in the process. Now, if ya do it, thats great. If not and your still gona push for belief, get a dog, tell him. dogs will believe ANYthing.

me thinks you are a fag.

It took you 20 miles to get from 120 to 130? I think you would have run out of gas before reaching any higher speeds

ok now I'm even more confused, the first pic has 84,6xx miles and 1/4 tank of gas, second about the same, the 3rd pic is 84,533 and runnin outta gas, so it was taken first, you put in like 4 gallons (what's that? like 10 bucks out there?) and then took pics 2 and 3 and couldn't get it back to 6200?
