Default Speed runs

Not really a kill story but, my dad was out of town for a few days and my mom will do anything if she dosen't have to drive me to gold's gym (I'm 15). So she said I can drive by myself even though I don't have a drivers license, so I was like ok. There is this prety long road with no one around right before I get to gold's gym so I decided to try and get a speed run. I hit about 60 and then quit (its a 30 MPH zone) and was like that was prety fast but I wanted more. On my way back I hit 85 and that was a lot different for me. My hands and jaw went num and I started sweating, but it was badass for my first time. Then the next and also my last night, on the way back I hit 100. I tried to go faster but I was running out of road so I had to slow down.
I want to do it again.

No, it's a 2002 Infinity I-35. And yes I am a dumbass. BTW, I said I want to do it again, but not on the road. Driving will be too important to loose it over this.

Speed is addictive. An I-35 will shock you for being a first time driver. Be careful.......thank god i live 1,000 miles away.... When i was 15, i never drove even when my dad was in the car and he offered because i didnt have my permit. Again, be careful. **** like that CAN get you or someone else killed.

My dad told me the first ticket I get or wreck I get into, I won't drive till I'm 18. So I can't street race or drive fast. Oh yeah, they sold the truck I wanted . Now I probably will never find a Silverado V8 for a good price.

i remember my first time of driving a car to 100mph lol i remember driving on my stepdads lap and he floored it onetime while i was steering, i thought that 92' ford ex-cab w/ the ole' 302 was the baddest machine in the world. i never wanted to drive it again!!

now i hit 100 and dont even notice

my mom had the flu one time and i had to drive to the store when i was 15, thought i was king of the world!!

I hope he's not in our area ...

There are enough idiots that are OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE speeding around killing people already .... we don't need the youngin's to join in as well. Do us all a favor and keep yourself planted on dad's lap driving his tractor instead of in the seat of a car, where you're going to get someone killed acting like you just did.
There is a reason why there is an age limit to get a drivers license, and your story should show you that reason. (definately not saying it is okay for anyone to drive recklessly regardless of age, but at least someone who has some more experience/common sense would be slightly better suited to do so then someones first time behind the wheel).

I think I have you all beat..exept for the guys/gals that didnt have anything of course. When i was 15 I had a dookie brown 1975 Chev Vega 2D automatic . Talk about PIMPIN, I had to put 1 to 2 quarts of 10w-40 in a day. And yes, my parents also let me drive before I got my license.
