I'm not sure if we've ever had a thread like this on CP before. It can be anything, when you signed up for racing lessons at race city, when you pushed your first bike to the max, opertaing a speed boat, driving at stupid speeds down a city street while drunk and messed up on coke, whatever, just the fasted you've ever driven anything/anywhere.

I'll start. The first was when I got my first car, a '93 nissan altima. I took it out with some friends to the highway between okotoks and calgary, and just gunned it to the max. The fastest I got it going was when I got to one of the large hills on that highway, I reached about 210 before my speedometre started shaking rapidly.

The other one was when my buddy let me try out his motorcycle. I had never riden one before that day. I started out near race city, going about 140 on a country road, but quickly got the need for speed, and the often deadly beginners false confidence. By that night, I was bombing down 22x at 240km/hr and feeling like I owned the road. This could also go in a thread named "what's the stupidest thing you've ever done", and I really do wonder why I didn't die that night, as the bike had started to wobble a couple of times, and me being in shorts and t-shirt, I probably would have ripped my body to flesh kindling before I even stopped sliding along the pavement.

Anyone else?
