I still had a little peddle — er, I mean the guy I know had a little peddle — but every crack in the pavement felt like a speed bump. These days, that guy would probably crap his pants trying to do that.
I had my Cobalt almost to 120 mph after turning off US 52 onto US 46. From 46, across the river and creek to the bottom of Whites Hill is exactly 1 mile. I turned onto 46 at around 30 mph and eased it to the floor...MAN THAT WAS FUN! but I ran out of straight road.
As I came up on the bridge, the road narrows some and your heart starts thumping. By that time, i was up to around 85 or 90. It wasnt until i was almost to Whites Hill when i looked down and the needle was right at 120 mph. I just couldn't imagine going 270 mph in a car on a long straight and smooth road.
The Cobalt was new at the time, it wouldn't do it now, lol.
