Different cure for Insomnia . . . . - Carsman - 07-29-2017 s . . . . . . People cope with insomnia in different ways, some lie in bed, staring at the ceiling. Others go for a drive to clear their head! That's what a "79" year old woman that was having trouble falling asleep did. She took her Porsche Boxster GTS for a spin in the middle of the night to "clear her head". The Porsche Boxster GTS has 330 horsepower, and can climb from 0 to 60 in under 4.7 seconds. The Boxster reaches a top speed of 173 mph. She cleared her head alright, She was clocked going 147 mph!! The woman faced a judge in court where she said, she "had no idea" she was traveling that fast. She was fined $4,500, was also banned from driving for three months. She sure was flying low at 147, as the fastest I ever went in my XKE was 130, and although it's top speed was 160, I didn't dare go for it, it felt like it was starting to float at 130! (Oh yeah, I didn't have insomnia, I was trying out the Jag's new clutch at 2 am on I95) So, what's the fastest you have ever gone, and in what?

I was a teenager and had shit for brains. I dated a guy for a couple years who liked old, tricked out cars and his was a '69 RoadRunner. He used to race 1⁄4 mile with other guys who liked their own old, tricked out cars too. We were so lucky we never got hurt or worse. When this car would reach a certain speed it got smooth like we were flying. Now that I'm remembering this I have all these memories I haven't even thought about in a looong time. When I read Cars say he felt like it started to float I know exactly what he means. As I type this I am mentally thanking God for letting me live. Goddamn that was some stupid, irresponsible shit to do. I don't recall ever being scared doing that. Fear is learned.

Yeah, I did that crazy thing when I was young and stupid too. This crazy woman was "79"!! Guess maybe she's going into her second childhood. |
