I passed a couple of trucks yesterday on the highway, and looked down to see I was doing 95. Whoops. Didn't even feel that fast.

I love speed. I'm too much of a coward to ride a bike but I don't mind a V12 and lots of horsepower.

I pushed a Volvo V70 to 180 kmh on the Autobahn but that felt unsafe. I worried about the car but most of all about the tyres. Trusting the car is important.

I never thought I'd hear the words 'Volvo' and 'unsafe' used in the same sentence.  :facepalm2:

You can always take your car to the drag strip, there's a few of them in Sweden.

There's little chance of wrecking your car in a straight line.  8)

Has to be a first time for everything. Although in all fairness, that car had tyres that weren't meant for the Autobahn.

I'm tempted, tbh. I want to see if 250 kmh is doable.

If you sue and lose (most likely) and can't pay, you'll have to offer up your, ahem, services.   :eyebrows:
