How does your car not just fly off the road at that speed?? Serious question.

You’ve never driven out west. No your car does not fly off the road🙄. I routinely drive 90 and can hit 100 without noticing. I try not to but it happens. Speed limits on the highways are 75 and the flow of traffic is 85 so 100 is not uncommon.

This is true. I am from a rural intermountan west area. And my best friend's sister died in a car accident because her brother was driving 100mph. The next year he gave me a ride and proudly pointed out that we were going 100 mph. Because, I mean, who is the government to tell him what to do? /s

100 mph = instant death !

You guys who are making light of going 100 mph are really stupid. You will probably be fine but the risk of death in case of an accident at that speed is huge, and you really aren’t saving yourself that much time.

Pedestrians get killed regularly by cars going 100. Happens routinely where I live. Nice normal people, poof, gone, flatted by an adrenaline junkie.

Serious question, why would a car fly off the road at 100mph?

It also depends on the car.

It seems everyone around here has some top heavy SUV. I don't feel safe at high speeds in those.

But in my low to the ground sedan, you feel very safe at upwards of 90 mph. definitely not flying off the road

Plus at that speed the motor will break.

Not true, gotten up to 120 on a closed track without any issues

It's impossible for an internal combustion motor to turn fast enough to reach that speed unless you have some sort of mechanical contrivance of gears between the wheels and the motor. Such a contrivance would have huge mechanical losses and be completely impractical. QED.

What are you talking about? I've hit 125 in my car on Rte 70 with the engine running about 4800 rpm. That won't kill it for brief periods. At 100 it's only about 3800-4000 rpm. If it had at least one higher gear. those rpm's could be much lower.

It was a bit of sarcasm for the people who seem to think motors are rigidly connected to the wheels. I have a vehicle with a ZF 9HP transmission. Ninth gear doesn't come in until you reach ~80mph, which is about 2000 rpm. Redline on that vehicle, because it is overhead cam, is something crazy like 7000rpm.

I presumed it had gotten lost in other piles of paper/invitations, and why let Amazon keep the money?! I reasoned that if the parent did find it, they might have assumed they cashed it and didn't throw it away.

This seems fine to me!

This is smart! How do you do it?>

I wear mismatched socks. I leave the toilet seat up. I hate Jazz & NYC. I like Dartmouth. i think Iowa is a beautiful state. I don’t care if Big Macs are unhealthy. I love beer but think Guinness is disgusting. I hated the movie “E.T.”

Somebody lock me up before I say something derogatory about Angela Lansbury!

I suspect that you are joking but I actually knew someone who believed that she could not tear off mattresses and pillows.

I don't care about any of your other idiosyncrasies but leaving the toilet seat up in my house would mean you were only allowed to use the outside toilet a la "The Help," except that it would have been exclusively for man who leaves toilet seat up.

This is not a thing. People don’t routinely get killed by cars going 100.

I think PP is making fun of people thinking that going 100 is extremely unsafe. So funny, fatal car accidents, lol. /s

I never fill parking meters as my town doesn't enforce them and when they do the ticket is $20. I'll gladly pay $20 once a decade and just park and not worry.

I don't care that you are supposed to put your phone in airplane mode as soon as the doors close. Whatever.

I ignore all sorts of deadlines because people don't really care. If you send me an email that says "respond and do this thing I need by date X" I know you won't get me in trouble if I don't do it on time. Most deadlines aren't real and I have actual things to do first.

I wear white(ish) pants after Labor Day.

Can this thread be fun? I hope so...

When I give deadlines or RSVP dates, I mean those dates and if I were your boss, there would be Hell to.psy.

My friend's dad is an accident reconstructionist, an engineer. When it's not clear how a car accident happened or who is at fault, he goes and evaluates and literally goes to the accident site and figures it out, then testifies. I was chatting with him once at a party, and asked what he's learned as a driver from doing this for so many years. He said "speed limits are there for a reason. Five miles over won't kill you, but ten will." I've adhered to that ever since.

I had a friend's dad who had a similar job he told me instant death when going 80 in a crash.

I also keep left over prescriptions from our household, just in case…. And use them for others, if needed.

I have underwear I’ve worn for a decade. If it’s not raggedy or stained what are you talking about?

I tell them I have a condition that needs preboarding. They either can’t or don’t ask any questions.

Why would you share this? Now everyone is gonna try this and then they’ll require documentation.
