Cutest video you will see this year, possibly ever.

A test? For 85mph? Shit, that's barely cruising.

BigV · 10-25-2012, 07:00 PM

is that because it takes the rest of the year to load?

BigV · 10-25-2012, 07:48 PM

still loading...

BigV · 10-25-2012, 07:51 PM

You're welcome.

plthijinx · 10-25-2012, 09:08 PM

one of the guys in my office has one of these cars....freakin' bad ass ride!

anyway, they just opened up a new toll road between Austin and Seguin with the highest speed limit in the nation. they ran a test. this is way cool!

the article is here

BigV · 10-26-2012, 03:32 PM

It looks like he said bye bye to 85 at about five seconds.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-27-2012, 10:32 PM

The first night that highway was open they had four crashes... with feral hogs.

Oh, and a Hennessey GT hit 263.3 in the Texas Mile.

I drive on the Hwy 130 toll road at least once or twice a week. The new section is at the south end, but the north end it's been extending from has been open for years, and the speed increase applies to the whole thing. The reason they made the speed limit so high (besides the fact that it's Texas and we gotta whip out our dicks whenever we can) is because no one is driving on it. It was built so 18-wheeler traffic could skirt around Austin and not contribute to the very bad congestion problems on I-35, but the truckers said, "A toll? Fuck you very much," and they don't use it at all. So the DoT is dangling the carrot that you could save even more time now, if you take the tollway.

Except the joke is on them, because everyone is already going that fast on the road anyway. Most of it is elevated, and you can see for miles into the distance, so speed traps are impossible.

this is WAY too cool!! some people were flying their model P-51 mustang which they accidentally crashed into the tree tops. A helicopter training flight (Robinson R-22) saw it happen and retrieved the P-51 for the folks....way cool!

warning: language, otherwise sfw.

glatt · 11-01-2012, 07:56 AM

That was wonderful!

Lamplighter · 11-01-2012, 09:07 AM

... a fun video !

See what can happen when you turn disaster-planning over to private enterprise.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-01-2012, 12:17 PM

Their friends will never believe them.

I swear, these two guys in a helicopter rescued my model from a tree top.

Yeah right, have another beer... you sure it wasn't Superman?

Gravdigr · 11-01-2012, 03:25 PM

That's a couple of cool guys right there.
